An okay game, can't say much about the content updates and "epic gold reskins". Nothing like the first one.

Also the whole deal with "we have christian values to live up to so swearing and inflating women is a no-go but hey go ahead and kill your fellow man".

Holiday events are the only redeems for this game.

Summary: Good game, contains a few annoying flaws though. Final Score: 4 / 5

This game is one of a kind in the horror genre and does gameplay and strategy well, it is definitely worth a try for someone who is interested. Important note is that there are no checkpoints, if you die you start off from point A again.

However it is not without it's flaws. Some of the most prominent flaws are the following:

Car repair: The most important one, since you either fully repair your car or you don't repair it at all. If you're short by £2 you will just have to deal with whatever damage you have on it instead of being able to repair it partially. This is a quite serious flaw and I hope the developer fixes it.

Obstacle barrage even if stopped: If you are stopping to investigate something or picking up a hitchhiker, the game will still throw whatever it has at you. One of my most unfair moments was when I tried picking up a hitchhiker when closing in on the last town since I needed that extra money. Trying to park the car close enough to the hitchhiker while having control of the car wrestled away from you didn't make for a pleasant experience, only for the game to throw a car on the same lane (P.S. NPC cars doesn't stop for you and one nudge from them is a game over).

Cost and money: You start out with £100. You can gain some by picking up hitchhikers and I assume you can find some in Dark Alleys or at Rest Stops. So far I've only found Petrol in Dark alleys and continously grazed my knees at Rest Stops.
Anyways, you will find it quickly depleting, as most money will go to the supposed items you are asked to bring to the old lady. The items themselves don't cost very much but medicine and food to reduce stress does. There is also upgrades for your car but you might as well ignore those, every run is too short to mind the upgrades since they cost so much. The cost is not the problem per se, but you cannot acquire enough money to make up for it.
Speed upgrade is not useful since you will still need to go slow enough to spot obstacles ahead of time.
Damage Reduction upgrade costs too much to be useful since it doesn't protect against other cars, they are still a fatal blow.
Fuel Efficiency upgrade is useful if you plan on taking longer roads without gas stops. But there's enough gas stops to make it without this upgrade.
Acceleration upgrade could be useful for speedruns.

Almost forgot options. Headset users BEWARE, as usual by game developer standards the audio settings are set to 100% and contains a loud developer logo intro. Game does not have any settings for audio though so you will have to adjust via the volume controller.

New Doom summed up in one line:

Great music track, splendid gameplay, alright story, lackluster multiplayer.

Biggest mistake was outsourcing multiplayer, the one feature that would have brought it longevity, to another company just to make a close release date. Overall a worthy successor to the Doom franchise, could have been much worse with grubby AAA developers in these dark times.

3.5 / 5

Ultimate coop experience. So much content for so little dosh.

A legacy left in a sorry state of despair with bots running rampant and community servers struggling for years.
