Other boss fights feel so easy as to be anticlimactic. Shots that feel like they should hit sometimes don’t. I’ve complained about camera-based battle systems in my Fatal Frame gameplay reviews but DreadOut 2 is the absolute pinnacle of bad battle systems.

The gameplay is also, unfortunately, not great. Even playing both, DreadOut 1 and the standalone game Keepers of Dark, this game still barely makes sense. We’ve gotten so many great horror indie games that look amazing in the past year that it’s hard to excuse the roughness, especially for a remastered game.īut the true deep sin of DreadOut 2 is that its story doesn’t make any sense without having played the previous installment, even with the cinematic at the start. The models can still be awkward, the environment borders on drab and forgettable. It doesn’t look like it was made for next gen consoles. Every horror palette is a variety of browns, greys, and maybe a splash of red.
