Layers of Fear 2
Layers of Fear 2
Layers of Fear 2, développé par Bloober Team et édité par Gun Interactive et NA Publishing, est sorti le 28 mai 2019 sur PC, PlayStation 4, Nintendo Switch et Xbox One. Ce jeu d'aventure indépendant, construit avec Unreal Engine 4, propose un récit d'horreur psychologique à la première personne centré sur l'exploration et l'histoire. Le joueur incarne un acteur de Hollywood répondant à l'appel d'un réalisateur énigmatique pour tenir le rôle principal d'un film tourné à bord d'un paquebot, où la limite entre la scène et la réalité s'effondre progressivement et où des échos du passé se muent en souvenirs tordus. La bande-son a été composée par Arkadiusz Reikowski, orchestrée par George Strezov et jouée par l'orchestre Sofia Session Orchestra. Une partie principale demande environ cinq heures, tandis qu'un parcours completiste atteint une dizaine d'heures et demie. Le titre affiche un score de 70 sur Metacritic et OpenCritic, pour une note agrégée de 69,10, et est proposé au prix de 1,67 euro. La presse a salué l'écriture et l'atmosphère troublante du jeu, IGN évoquant l'une des expériences d'horreur les plus saisissantes de sa génération, tandis que Hardcore Gamer recommandait le titre aux amateurs du premier opus ou du genre. Certains joueurs sur Metacritic ont en revanche exprimé leur déception, regrettant notamment que l'horreur soit remplacée par des éléments enfantins, et des avis négatifs sur Steam ont souligné une histoire moins prenante que celle du précédent volet.

Critiques de la Presse (Metacritic)
« Carried by hauntingly beautiful writing and an unsettling atmosphere, Layers of Fear 2 is one of the most stunning horror games of this generation. Using classic film and a descent into madness as its anchor, its rich ocean liner setting changes at every turn, producing constant unease in just the right way. With unique puzzles and expert pacing, Layers of Fear 2 is a harrowing and consistently exciting endeavor. »
« Fans of the original Layers of Fear or any psychological horror game will truly enjoy Layers of Fear 2. The core and elements of the original remain intact and the cruise ship setting is an improvement over the original. The visuals and art direction will blow your mind as the cruise ship truly comes together when adding in the audio and horror element. The story takes a while to develop and it may not even be understood in the end depending on what ending the player gets based on the choices made in the game. Sure, the game is only ten hours, but it’s designed for multiple playthroughs. Besides that and some technical issues, Layers of Fear 2 is another horror masterpiece and improves on what the original accomplished. »
« The jump scares are a bit overdone, same as the original Layers of Fear, and there’s an abysmal chase sequence in the second act that could’ve been cut completely. Still, Bloober Team’s rapidly proved itself as a master of psychological horror, using symbolism in ways most games don’t even attempt, let alone achieve. So what if it’s not very scary? There’s more important work to be done. Great work. »
« Layers of Fear 2 is an abstract, slow burn psychological thriller that strings you along with increasingly skilled and disturbing imagery, then leaves you shaking and looking over your shoulder. »
« Layers of Fear 2 is one of the best pure horror games I’ve played in some time. Bloober Team has created a title that pushes common horror tropes aside for something more fascinating and exciting. While I ultimately left unsatisfied with my first run, the journey to the end was a hell of a ride that had me uneasy in the best ways the entire time. »
« Layers of Fear 2 is a fascinating horror game that centers on exploring a mysterious ship and its ever-changing layout. It isn't the scariest game, but the unsettling nature of everything you encounter more than makes up for it. The constant environmental changes designed to mess with you are amazing and one of the best aspects. »
« Layers of Fear 2 narrates an unnerving and dramatic story about the struggle of the actor to attain the perfect character on a path strewn with abhorrently masked imperfections. It may not be the scariest game ever made, but it's certainly one of the most introspective. »
« Layers of Fear 2 excels as a horror game and a mystery story, with excellent worldbuilding and plenty of creepy moments throughout. »
Avis des Joueurs (Metacritic)
« This is a fantastic game, I absolutely loved it, and the story is excellent. I highly recommend it to everyone. Once you start playing, it's hard to put the game down. »
« Nach dem grandiosen ersten Teil war das hier ein Tritt ins Gesicht. Der Horror wurde durch kindische Märchen ersetzt und die ganze Geschichte da auf dem Schiff ist völlig uninteressant. Wer Bock hat auf Horror auf Disney Niveau mit Fluch der Karibik Vibes ist hier richtig. Ich fand es furchtbar schlecht. »
« Game felt like walking simulator and had difficult story to understand. But game art and design was really good. There wasn't really any jumpscares. »

« Awesome! Absolutely love it. Bloober Team are unbelievably genius. Can't wait till the next part. »
« Maybe somewhat surprisingly it's a great game. Much unlike LoF 1 it appears rather obviously like a walking simulator without many choices, but atmosphere is great, plot is great, you could just object the many anachronisms and steampunk-failing details. It's cool, it's great, it's fun, and it's horror. Only a very small piece to perfection is missing. »
« Didn't make it to the end of the game, but in advance I give you the lowest score for your stupid position. Outside of politics, huh? »
