Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
90 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
On the plus side, there’s the story – a worthy sequel to Dreadout (well, obviously) – which manages to delve a little deeper into the game’s lore and explore Linda’s character and origins a bit further.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
48 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
What really left me astounded, at first, was the vastly improved main menu (thank you for fixing the DreadOut 1 and KOTD bug which made the game forget the controls when you changed them), and, obviously, the GRAPHICS.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
25 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
But the sound design, which was already good in the very first one, and even better in KOTD... well, it's really damn excellent time around.
Characters
Players who bring up Characters mostly praise it.
