True Fear: Forsaken Souls ~ Part 2 (PS4) Review | GamePitt

Rob Pitt writes: Early last year I took a look at a game which stood up against Artifex Mundi as a horror-based adult version of their infamous Hidden Object Games, True Fear: Forsaken Souls ~ Part 1.

Its dark tones, spooky story, difficult platinum, and abundance of puzzles, all made that game a worthy alternative for those looking for a casual horror puzzle game

This week saw the release of the long-awaited sequel, and ‘conclusion’, to the story in the aptly named True Fear: Forsaken Souls ~ Part 2.

Oh this is too creepy.

It's not too bad :)

It does have a few jump scares and some freaky moments - I don't like dead children as they look really creepy in games like this - but it's not as bad as pure horror games. Three is a demo of both part one and two on the PS4 though (maybe Switch as well?) so it doesn't hurt to try them out - they're also only around £8 each when not in a sale, so half the price of current Artifex Mundi titles

This game is actually good

Yeah, I really enjoyed it. The first game was great - finally releasing on the console last year (With iOS and Xbox coming in 2020), but it was more akin to the Hidden Object Games we get from Artifex Mundi. This version (which went through many re-writes and re-makes) opted for over double the number of puzzles, about twice as long gameplay, an easier trophy list, and a deeper story which has a few things people will probably miss on their first playthrough.

My only issues with the console port are the loading times and the inherited controls from the first game, so hopefully, those can be fixed in time for the bonus episode next year. Really fun casual horror game though - not too scary either so should be okay for all ages :)
