Quad-wielding combat: two guns plus two demon arms that grab, throw and tear, which makes fights faster and more physical than the first game. The comic-book art style holds up well. It is short — a single sitting for many players — and the darkness-and-light mechanic reduces most encounters to shooting out the same lamps.

✓ Both are open-world action games — sharing adventure storytelling, survival mechanics and strong narrative focus

≠ Its own twist: shooter, puzzle design and third-person shooting, while skipping horror tension

Bigger and better paced than the 2013 reboot: tombs are more numerous and more elaborate, and the crafting and hunting loops give the hub areas a reason to exist. Traversal is excellent. The story is forgettable and the survival framing sits awkwardly beside a protagonist who kills dozens of people without comment.
