Kona 2 Brume, Aug 21 (Xbox Game Pass)-This was a solid survival horror lite experience. Think Resident Evil without the zombies. It relies more on atmosphere than scares. Unfortunately the survival aspect is severely lacking as resources abound. Its got a lot less combat than RE and a lot more puzzles, although the puzzles aren't any more difficult. The laboratory with the battery puzzle was a highlight. The mansion wasn't bad and evoked RE but ultimately was too linear and had too many doors that never unlocked. The open wilderness was a bit lackluster but the blinding snow was a nice touch. The story had some meat on it but wasn't anything to revolutionary. I never played the first game so I don't know how it compares but this stands on its own pretty well. The game was fun but ultimately a little too easy since you could mostly avoid combat and the resources were so plentiful.
I forgot to mention the game stutters quite a bit and loading screen are long and appear to freeze but then don't. Every time you check inventory, look at the map, read the journal, come in and out of a menu, or even open and walk thru a door the game would stutter and lag. It was very annoying but it never actually crashed.
