One Night 2: The Beyond

Game review

As a horror themed puzzle based rpg, this game is decent I suppose. The thing that bothers me is the fact that it really isn't that scary, due to the biggest, most obnoxious flaw in the game: you can fight the enemies. Not only that, but the fights are painstakingly easy. I didn't die once after putting a solid hour in. In fact, I didn't even have to use a health kit. Compared to Ao Oni (which doesn't have a health system, one hit and you're dead) and The Witch's House (which is quite similar to Ao Oni, but with more environment hazards), I simply wasn't scared. Even Ib, where you did have a health system, was also quite scary in addition to having a fantastic story comparatively. The bread and butter of those games was the jumpscares and chase sequences, the latter of which I haven't seen so far in this game. I do like it over Ao Oni in the sense that the puzzles are solveable, but that's all it's really got going for it. Give this game a try (it is free after all), but don't miss out on other titles that deliver a bigger punch such as Ao Oni, The Witch's House and Ib.
