Dungeon Nightmares II: The Memory

“Time limits and an absolutely broken stamina mechanic, especially when there is random generation and a possible permanent death mechanic (which is based on a coin flip)... this game just has all the components to be a frustrating experience for no real apparent reason.”

“There were levels where you have a 10 minute time limit (tied to instant death - see the above permanent death chance) and the hallways generated were so long and convoluted that even without the absolutely ridiculous stamina mechanic, it would have been impossible to find the movie reel, the elevator, and the power switch, all within the time limit; especially when you have to backtrack because you just so happen to take the wrong path to begin with (not even listing the low character health and BS enemy spawns).”

“After a while the relatively basic game mechanics (which are fine for 8 levels) got so repetitive, that I lost the motivation to do everything again.”

“The graphics quality from the highest setting to the lowest is virtually the same, and at best the game looks like a mid-tier title from 15 to 20 years ago.”

“The graphics are just horrible.”

“Bad graphics and slow responsiveness are combined with picking up small items that require you to stand at the exact place and click the exact pixel, unlike interacting with other items.”

“The game features no proper level design or game/story flow/plot, as they opted to try to use samey repetitive procedural generation algorithms as a substitute for adding such content, avoiding the important job of level/map design.”

“There is little to no contextualization or plot and it is strongly hinted that you are just stuck in a nightmare anyway.”

“Apart from that, it's a decent randomized story about a woman who suddenly got lost in a nightmarish maze of copy-paste elements and merciless triggers under her hotel.”

“It talks about unlimited replay value and random generation, but the random generation makes almost zero impact.”

“This tedious searching, at a painfully slow walking pace mind you, killed the game for me.”

“It's a good horror game but expect to be forced to replay it to the point where it becomes stale and tedious.”

“However, it is possible to fail just because it takes so long to go through the tedious hallways and search everywhere that if random chance isn't on your side you just won't find your way out in time.”

“I restarted the game right now and, as soon as I enter the first dungeon, I get a silent black screen and the game freezes without a reason.”

“On the topic of glitching, the game is rather buggy.”

“I found one glitch where if I alt-tab out it will exit my game and I will have to reboot it again.”

“If I'm going to make suggestions, though, add some kind of music or background noise other than light breathing, footsteps, and a heartbeat.”

“He starts with an 'impending doom' music; then footsteps, then no matter where you are, he just auto-kills you.”

“The soundtrack is the clichéd heartbeat, and the sound of your footsteps is quickly annoying.”
