This community is focused on games, of all kinds. Any news item or discussion should be related to gaming in some way.

2. No bigotry or harassment, be civil

No bigotry, hardline stance. Try not to get too heated when entering into a discussion or debate.

We are here to talk and discuss about one of our passions, not fight or be exposed to hate. Posts or responses that are hateful will be deleted to keep the atmosphere good.

4. Stay on-topic; no memes, funny videos, giveaways, reposts, or low-effort posts

This community is mostly for discussion and news. Remember to search for the thing you're submitting before posting to see if it's already been posted.

We want to keep the quality of posts high. Therefore, memes, funny videos, low-effort posts and reposts are not allowed. We prohibit giveaways because we cannot be sure that the person holding the giveaway will actually do what they promise.

Anyone played 2? How was it?

I couldn't finish 1.

~~The player is shown a lot of disturbing imagery, but there is zero tension and no threat. It's similar to early Chinese Room titles: a pretentious and superficial experience comparable to A Machine For Pigs, without the pigs. Evaluated as a horror game, its horror is ruined by the game. 4/10, the experience isn't worth the time. Just watch someone else play it.~~

Forget that, I was mixing up which game I remembered. I thought LOF2 was the one with the insane painter. I know I've played both, though (plus Observer), but can't recall a single damn detail about the second game. I guess the experience was too bland to even retain.

I don't mind walking sims as long as I know what I'm in for and the mood/story is worthwhile. I really liked AMFP, for example.

But LoF 1 just didn't do it for me. Sounds like 2 is more of the same. The parts where it entered horror were a bit distasteful for me

Its a Bloober game, so its going to be mid-at-best and have horrendous performance issues. Most likely a walking simulator overfilled with the only thing Bloober thinks is scary: jump scares. Absolutely no subtlety in the story either.

Oh my god, my eyes saw the word “Lay-“ and knowing this is a studio in 2026 that makes singleplayer games, it automatically filled in a different word.

I was thinking the same thing. damn.
