Admittedly these five chapters are considerably longer and offer a far tighter gameplay experience, but at the same time Dementium II is over before it's even started - and it's unlikely you'll find much replay value in the no-thrills Survival Mode. It's also telling that we've gone from 16 chapters in the first game to just five in the second. In terms of extra content, there's a single side-quest element where you can backtrack to pick up a secret weapon. Having said that, I was amazed at how quickly I went from the opening cinematic to the end credits, as I was able to rinse Dementium II in just under five hours. The above Wendigo Witch uses this character flaw to her advantage. As in the first game, William has massive hang-ups about his wife, who he may have killed.

As necessary as these many revisions were, number one on the list was a proper manual save system, and thanks to Dementium II's liberal sprinkling of save points in the form of red mirrors, this sequel is an altogether less stressful experience. Even the irksome puzzles have been ditched for more logical brain-teasers, ranging from arranging jars of eyeballs into ascending order, to sorting bits of wire - Pipe Mania style - to complete a circuit. It seems Renegade Kid isn't so worried about tempting fate.Īn improved map also means you're less likely to get lost as it automatically highlights every area you've visited. Indeed, while the previous game relied on bland rooms and identikit corridors, William's second quest for sanity sees him travelling from the prison infirmary to more varied location, including a frozen lake and a graveyard filled with tombstones naming the game's developers. This is a better designed and more structured experience, with less of a sense of déjà vu as you travel between areas.

But as the monsters no longer respawn ad-infinitum, this time around poor ammo conservation isn't so punishing.

This is a welcome change as you can hoard health packs and adrenaline shots for trickier boss battles, as well as stockpiling ammo for your favoured armament. Furthermore, Dementium II's new inventory system comes with a generous layout of ten slots.
