I really can’t decide; there’s some built in momentum because OMG MY CHILDHOOD among zoomers and such but it also feels bleak and deflated and is chasing a weary gimmick.

    I never played past the second game because it has a happy ending where isaac gets away safe with his new friend :)

    That’s probably for the best.

    The lack of a jump scare at the ending, to contrast with the first game, actually made the moment perfect, too.

      That ending is one of the few times I’ve laughed at a horror game because the developers meant it to be funny and not 'cos’ve, like, an attempted scare that didn’t work or something.
