CAPTURED 2

Captured 2 se encaixa perfeitamente na frase que eu adoro usar '' o mesmo jogo 2 '' e nem sempre isso significa algo ruim, nesse caso é algo positivo. O jogo 1 acaba sendo mais assustador na minha opinião pelo fator novidade principalmente, pelo jogo 2, ser a mesma vibe, você acaba se acostumando mais rápido com tudo (tirando o trenzinho perturbado). Basicamente você anda pelos quartos da sua casa procurando anomalias, ao encontrar você escaneia, se tiver encontrado todas, você progride, se não, zera o contador e vc continua até pegar todas e progredir para os próximos dias, conforme avança, mas salas são desbloqueadas, algumas variações de anomalias e novos inimigos vão aparecendo. O 100% achei mais fácil e intuitivo que o primeiro jogo, sendo que completei o game em 5h sem grandes sofrimentos, tem o modo infinito com ranking, mas ai é pra quem curte o desafio haha. No mais eu recomendo o game, deu uns belos sustos principalmente no começo, mas ainda sim no final eu tomei um belo susto que até assustei meu gato kkkk, se você curte encontrar anomalias e curtiu o jogo 1, pode ir na fé que vale a pena.

Great little horror game with an excellent story and strong emotional ending. I did not expect it to be this good. Definitely worth the price.

While a pretty short horror game, this game for it's price is heavily worth it and hell, I would say it's worth even more in my book. The game has beautiful graphics and for a observation duty style like game I was not expecting an actual good story, but the story is pretty good and it's not really in depth. It might be somewhat basic, but the developer manages to make it seem more than basic based on the events happening around you. Every level/day the main area changes subtlety but manages to keep that lore/plot there to really indicate everything in the world is changing while you are gone. "Captured". Now don't get me started about the monsters. Every monster that I have encountered has genuinely made me jump, just from getting too focused on looking for anomalies. I have never been jump scared the amount of times this game has and that is genuinely impressive as I've have been playing horror games for many years. Lastly, the only complaint I had about the game personally was the lack of battery spawns, you need batteries in order to scan for anomalies, etc, and well if none spawn you're out of luck and have to go next restarting your counter. It may just be a skill issue, which it probably is, but it did bother me nonetheless. Another thing that was an issue was the doors, now I love dragging door mechanics, but in this game the doors are rather scuffy especially while attempting to close them. Thankfully, the developer already thought of that and managed to add a easy door accessibility option so that worry wasn't happening anymore. Anyways, this game is truly a hidden gem I highly recommend!

A tremendous downgrade from the original on practically every front. The first game had a great "show, don't tell" methodology that's completely absent here. Many anomalies have been coopted to be part of the "lore," so rather than something that's unsettling or creepy on its own, it's counting on you to care about the storytelling, which is all pretty uninspired. There's now an evil pharmaceutical company, a spooky liminal man, and direct phone calls that stop the pacing dead so that characters can yap about what's happening outside the loop, and it [i]never[/i] stops. It's all just so heavy-handed and overexplained that it breaks your immersion on a regular basis. Speaking of immersion-breaking, unlike the first Captured, the sequel [i]really[/i] cranks up the presence of the monsters. In the first game you'd maybe encounter one monster every couple of loops, where here you're virtually guaranteed to see one every single loop. As a once-in-a-while occurrence, these would be fine, but here they're faster, more aggressive, and virtually guarantee a death the first time you encounter them. When you're having to manage a monster's presence every single loop, they stop being surprising or scary and they just become an obstacle you're forced to game. It's annoying, not scary. This means there's never a break for tension to build, and even in the short time I played, it starts to feel like the endgame of Amnesia: The Dark Descent, where you're no longer scared by the enemies because you know how they function, and as a result, they just become a chore you have to deal with before you can progress. And speaking of progress, another issue with Captured 2 is that unlike the original, here the content is slowly doled out to you, day by day, meaning you [i]need[/i] to finish runs to unlock more content. Here's why this is a problem: the content you can experience is limited, and limited in such a way that if you miss an anomaly or die to a monster and lose all your progress (which is rather easy to do) you're then stuck replaying the exact same couple of rooms with the exact same handful of anomalies and monsters. You are now [i]punished[/i] for failing, basically, and the punishment is mind-numbing repetition, which again, completely sucks you out of the experience. In the first game, failing a loop didn't really matter because the whole breadth of the game's content was available to you from the get-go, you weren't progressing a story to unlock more anomalies or monsters, they were all just [i]there.[/i] The combination of all of these factors just leads to the entire experience being more annoying than scary. The liminal man is constantly whispering in your ear, monsters are jumping out at you every single loop with obnoxious horror stings, tutorials are popping up left and right, phones are ringing so that people can tell you (rather than show you) all about the lore and what's happening and why and how the police apparently understand the mechanics of the loop you're trapped in, and... ... [b]Bleh.[/b] It's just... [b]bleh.[/b] This is, overall, a huge step back from the first game. Play the original. Skip this. Maybe check out the dev's next game, because they clearly have talent and passion, but unfortunately, this ain't it.

PROS - Strong and emotionally impactful narrative. - Atmospheric horror that keeps the environment unsettling. - Interesting anomaly designs and encounters. - Engaging gameplay that builds on the original formula. - Heart-touching story that adds more weight to the experience. CONS - The core anomaly-hunting loop can still feel repetitive. - Could benefit from more gameplay variety. VERDICT CAPTURED 2 surprised me with how emotionally impactful it was. I went in expecting another anomaly-hunting horror game, but the story gave the experience considerably more weight than I expected. The horror works well on its own, but the emotional side is what ultimately made this one more memorable for me. It's a sequel that manages to leave an impression beyond its gameplay. 4/5

I expected a spoopy-meme game, yet I got so much more out of this. Really well done.

Прошёл игру за 2 часа, в итоге в принципе понравилось. История вышла не сказать, что трогательной, однако же послесловие подпустило комок к горлу. Просто норм, ожидал лучшего. Как хоррор игра довольно посредственная. Перевод на русский тоже неоч.

Best Anomaly game I have played so far, beautiful story and great atmosphere.

I love this game! Thanks for making such an amazing game with such a deceptively impactful story. I'm glad you have so much support while making this game and it shows :)!
