Reviews - Larry's Life - Part 2 mod for Amnesia: The Dark Descent

Positives:

- Creativity
- Nice ideas I guess

Negatives:

- Catherine is a guy
- Same voice actor for every character, including Catherine
- Extremly short
- No challange
- Just like part one, horrible scares that isn't even scary (at least not more than once)

Conclusion:

As much as I love the fact that you try to make something else rather than the same old "monsters kidnapped you, you must get out", this story is bad. Plain and simple.

The voice acting need improvements. And most importantly, don't use the same actor for every character...

The level design is average, but need way more details to be considered as good. The only quests in the story is basicly finding keys (I said you are creative and for the most parts you are, but seriously, you use the same "I need a sparekey to the bedroom" in both the houses). What I am trying to say is, there is no challange at all.

The scares are just lame and overused. I did personally not get scared even once, but I guess most people were... the first time. Then they got used to them just like I did. They simply don't work very well.

And dude come on... "Catherine" and I see a naked guy with a ***** speaking with a male voice. *Facepalm*.

----------

The reason why I rate this one 3 and not 4 like the first part is because the first one actually had a bigger variation of quests (they were bad and simple as well, but at least you used more than keys) and because it seems like you spent a little bit longer on the mapping itself. Other than that, this one disapointed me just as much as part one.

You have huge potential. You just need to spend more time on your work. This part came out less than a month after the first part (and it shows).

3/10 - Bad

No just no. I appreciate effort to make intro like "Investigating person" sequence. But after that it's just couple killing with knife.. and badly produced that aswell, you can make it more realistic too or just use many other ideas and longer gameplay to make player satisfied on your story.

Still I managed to finish it, with huge disappointed and rushing storyline there is not so much deep storywriting just really fast killings with nonsense style and couple "finding key quests"

Still not that originality we are looking for, no mapping ability to make it look enjoyable and decent. Imagine if you spent more time on the maps making something cool and never-seened stuff.. Includes scripting aswell.

But, no you just rush these maps with really weird dialogue just telling yourself why I have to kill these guys or just be sorry for your past, it's just doesn't fit any further explanation or telling more why this happened? Why I'm doing this and so on, part 1 was really bad example to continue story like this. With this effort overall, it's just pain to play.

Well.. I seen worse mods and stories, you have potential somehow to make, but overall design is just lazy and not much put effort at all. Seriously! You have to expand your story abilities to make everything sense, not rushing maps, make something unique - never ever seen stuff compared to other mods. I finished this in less 10 minutes with quite frustrated anger, because there are still zero challenge for everything. Idea is cool and fun to kill but overall designing that is just not working at all, you need to work on your mod and further projects a lot more if you want to accomplish any of your mod good. And remember i'm only to help you here not to mock you.

3/10 - Below average, not enjoyable and really bland overall

Pros:
- Liked the intro
- You did a decent job at voice acting
- The story was abit better told this time i think
- Simplistic but decent mapping

Cons:
- Cheap jumpscares (the firstone got me but after that it got way overused)
- I really hate jumpscares
- stupid jumpscares
- stop with jumpscares, and that same stupid screaming sound.
- Lack of music
- Way to short
- Is Catherine a transvestite? or a shemale? wtf

Also trash, nothing was really improved from part 1, unimaginative and generic.
