However, after the first few hours of the game, the tricks run out and the fear slowly gives way to the chore of running around whatever lot the game casts the player in.Įxploration in developer Bloober Team's Layers of Fear 2 feels more like mindless wandering that always takes the player in the direction they need. It's at its worst in the early segments of the game, and while some scares feel like the generic, gimmicky scares associated with the horror franchise, many more are deep guttural manifestations of fear, especially as far as the Formless One is concerned. The Formless One is easily one of the best parts of Layers of Fear 2 and could rank with the most terrifying monsters in video games, as it could- and often does - appear anywhere.īecause of this, there are quite a few jump scares in Layers of Fear 2. This comes into play the most when players are being hunted by the Formless One, a ghoulish manifestation that reappears throughout the story (which is later learned to be yet another metaphor for acting that we will avoid here due to spoilers). And, when it does take a turn for the dramatic, there's an undeniable feeling that the players have to escape. The lighting often turns black and white, giving players the feeling that they are actually in the 1930s. Noises including displaced voices, power fluctuations, and strange, unidentifiable movement keep players on the edge of their seats, even in moments of relative calm. The environment is constantly changing, with there being several instances where the path behind the player ends, disappears, or completely changes. The horror in Layers of Fear 2 is top-notch and is uniquely linked to every aspect of the game. Combined with the presence of age-appropriate in-game films and phonographs, the ambiance of the game never breaks, even when it takes a turn for terror. If anything, Layers of Fear 2's use of the history of cinema helps make the game a horror collect-a-thon, as there are posters depicting Shakespearean plays and imaginative Film Noir performances and other collectibles to be found.
