Except for some light exploration and the occasional player-driven decision, the title plays out largely like a film, meaning a lot of time is spent watching the story unfold. The game shines in multiplayer, but it is also a blast when experienced solo.Ī pre-existing love for horror movies is somewhat required to appreciate The Quarry, especially since the campaign is not exactly overflowing with gameplay. If that quota is reached, each user is assigned a different character who they will need to guide through the worst night of their lives. As has become standard, the 2022 game is perfect for a (lengthy) co-op session, as The Quarry supports up to 8 players. Even though Until Dawn is still probably Supermassive's crowning achievement, The Quarry is nevertheless a solid ode to classic slasher flicks that should please fans of the genre or people who enjoy the developer's older releases. There are some good ideas, but none of them are truly focused on enough to make DreadOut 2 a standout.PS Plus loves Supermassive Games, with the service now having a wide selection of the company's projects. With some additional work, DreadOut 2 could have been much better. Even the game’s first boss just felt awkward to fight. There’s also some shoddy hit detection and brutally long animations. The combat is slow and clunky, and when you are dealing with enemies that move relatively quick, it just feels bad. Instead of focusing on going big, DreadOut 2 could have benefited from just fixing what didn’t work in the original.
This pushes it closer to Silent Hill than ever before. Throughout certain points in the story you will gain access to a slow yet powerful melee weapon to deal with the possessed. New to DreadOut 2 though is the introduction of melee weapons.
Your phone’s flash will also stun enemies, allowing you to run away, reposition, or get a free attack or two. For the most part you will be taking pictures of ghosts to deal damage, and if you hold down the shutter you can do a powerful attack. The gameplay is very similar to the original.
This really does a lot to help the sequel feel much more varied and visually interesting. There are a much wider variety of locations and not just a single brown desolate school. It takes the dark corridors of the original and brightens it up with some occasional open spaces. There’s a little bit more than just the camera-based gameplay here, taking clear inspiration from the likes of Silent Hill. Some environments are brighter and certainly more varied.ĭreadOut 2 tries to go bigger than its predecessor in just about every way.
