  • story
    17 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The story in "Lovecraft's Untold Stories 2" has received mixed reviews, with some players finding it interesting yet frustrating due to unclear objectives and a lack of depth. While the side quests are highlighted as a strong point, the main quest suffers from repetitive missions and bugs that hinder progression.

    • “You wake up in an asylum, choose your class, meet a nurse, and then the main quest just tells you to 'draw a picture' - this just doesn't make much sense. Yes, it leads you to an NPC and lets you get out of the level, but why you are doing this or how your character knows to do this is not explained.”
    • “Sure, the graphics are nice and a welcome upgrade from the muddy pixelated original, but that (and the story, which is more straightforward this time around) are the only good things the game has.”
