||Overall, absolutely another step in the right direction, just needs some polish IMO.
Cons (just to get them out of the way):
-Playing single player isn't great. I understand this is better as a coop shooter, but still, some people may prefer playing solo.
-Enemy count is alright, but 610 entities seem to eat entire magazines, and get up really often (which is lore accurate, i get it).
-Enemy sounds could probably get some tweaks, hard to telegraph sometimes where an enemy is/how close they are to you.
-Flares feel a bit clunky to use, I didn't even know you could burn bodies to stop them from respawning.
-Voice acting for the memetic memories felt off somehow, idk. Not the balancing, that was fine, but they didn't really feel too compelling. Again, not terrible, but feels like it could use some polish/retakes
Nitpicks (really minor stuff)
-Idk if this is feasible or even possible, but having the ability to shoot off limbs of 610 entities like 008 would help emphasize the power of your weapons, rather than making them feel like bullet sponges (which I know they are canonically but still)
-Some corpses in the hospital are still moving, like one on the ceiling that was still breathing/trying to escape, along with a penguin outside. I tried shooting them to put them out of their misery, but nothing happened. Maybe that's on purpose, that we can't end their suffering, but I've seen some other people try that as well.
-Someone already mentioned this, but adding the tool tip for memetic vision directly after obtaining the manifest would help
-Bit tricky to navigate outside before hospital (not asking for 10000 lights to show me every step of the way), but I did get turned around a few times.
Pros: Basically everything. Big fan of the environment/lighting/sound design. Enemy design is beautifully disgusting, sounds are creepy as hell, documents are a fun read (hoping for more in the future), and overall just an amazing update. Keep up the amazing work!!!||
