Time manipulation applied to objects rather than the whole world: you age a crate to dust or restore a collapsed staircase, and it is used cleverly in traversal and combat. A tight, short campaign. It borrows heavily and openly from BioShock and Half-Life 2, and the shooting itself is unremarkable once the time device stops surprising you.

A class-based arena shooter with genuinely inventive movement — roller skates, grappling hooks, gliders — that gives it a mobility profile nothing else has. Loadout customisation is deep for a free game. Its problem is population: matchmaking depends entirely on how many people are playing, and the tutorial does little to explain its many systems.

Wider environments and better lighting than the original, with the slow-motion shooting mostly intact and a mech section that breaks up the pacing. The AI is noticeably less sharp than in the first game, though, and the horror leans on jump scares rather than the dread the original built. Competent, rarely surprising.
