  I bought this when it was 50% off for $7.50ish. I would have much rather used that money to get 75 copies of Bad Rats when it's on sale.

  Needs a fair bit of work. Pros: Somewhat interesting but cliched story. Enemies look freaky. Good atmosphere. Cons: Player movement is slow, even for running. Combat is clunky and awkward. Animations seem stiff and weak. Combat music is monotonous and short. VSync setting not working, at least for me. Port of a DS game. Get only if on a deep discount (50% or more) and you're itching for something new to play in the horror genre.

  This is truly one of the scariest games ever. You play as a guy who wants to escape an asylum and he always has hallucinations about poor graphics, horrible animations, terrible bugs, poor DS ports, lazy cashgrabs. Very terrifying. DEMENTIUM II HD Same shit. Nothing new.

  Nearly every negative review of this game is completely accurate. The gunplay is weak, the movement feels weird, the combat is shallow, the level and enemy design is often frustrating, and it's buggy as all hell. However, I enjoyed the hell out of my time with this game anyway. The game is the perfect encapsulation of what I love about the mid-tier jank of ten years ago, a genre and class of game that's largely disappeared in recent years. The design is weird and sometimes even obtuse, but the developers' vision is apparent, and it's fun to see their largely-unfiltered decisions on display. The beauty of the mid-tier jank game is thus: enough money to create ambition, and enough of a lack of oversight for that ambition to go largely unchecked. Nobody was standing over the devs' shoulders telling them to make the combat easier, put in objective markers, balance the game properly, etc. Finally, on a personal note, this is a mid-budget DS game through and through, and it evoked a lot of nostalgia in me because of that. Sitting in bed as a kid playing James Cameron's Avatar: The Video Game or Drawn to Life or 999 or LEGO Batman, knowing deep down that the game isn't very good but pushing through anyway because god dammit you haven't played anything like it before and it's the only game you got for Christmas and you're determined to at least see the next level. Why would the developers make this boss fight so hard? Why would they make this area so difficult to navigate? Why would they make such a simple and necessary move so hard to pull off? The answer is that it made sense to the developer, and besides them, nobody else cared. That's what this game felt like, and that alone was worth the $4 to me.

  This HD version of Dementium 2 is the PC port of a 4-year old Nintendo DS game. That said you can immediately notice the graphics that are not on par with today's PC standards. Also, the gameplay is simple, the controls are a bit non-responsive and the story is not exactly long. You can complete William's story in a mere 3 hours. Still, Dementium 2 can be fun. It is a horror FPS game and you have all the weapons you need in such a game (knife, flamethrower) along with all the monstrosities you expect to jump at you at every corner. During the gameplay you proceed from room to room annihilating mentioned monstrosities while occasionally picking up an object only to use it elsewhere to overcome an obstacle. I like how the game transitions you sometimes - while half of it takes place in a mental institution and in its surrounding village and caves the other half puts you in the same areas but in a hellish, underworld-like environment. One could call it a day and night cycle that is often repeated. Dementium is mediocre at best but a good pastime. If you have nothing on your plate and do not desire to pick your next AAA game up you can have fun with it. Its low price can also get you closer to making this decision.

  I never played the original version, only this HD one. It's an old game, so don't expect spectacular graphics. The sounds are very bad and on certain places they cut and play with very short frequency. The game itself is interesting with a weird story, but the shooting/fighting mechanics are very bad; headshots don't count, you will constantly run out of ammo so mostly will use the knife, hammer or saw and run circles around the monsters, while you listen to 3seconds of music on a loop. There's a lot of bugs which stop you from progressing and you will have to load on old save, which might cause you to loose anywhere from 10minutes to 30minutes of progress. For example the dagger one, I didn't know there was a tiny post card behind me after killing the witch, so I have to traverse the whole chapter backwards to get it, after that I had to traverse all the way back to the puzzle and it was bugged. Than I had to load a save and fight again the witch. Another one was right before the final worm fight, I had to run this whole level 3 times. First time the door bugged right before the final room, 2nd time i fell in the lava, because you have to jump on little rock platforms on chains and the guy jumps like 2cm. 1/16 STORY 🔲 No story 🔲 Not main aspect ✅ Bad story 🔲 Average 🔲 Good 🔲 It'll replace your life 2/16 GAMEPLAY ✅ Lifeless / static 🔲 Poor UI 🔲 Average 🔲 Good 🔲 Excellent 3/16 DIFFICULTY ✅ Playing asleep 🔲 Some brain usage 🔲 Easy to learn / Hard to master 🔲 Difficult 🔲 Dark Souls 4/16 GRIND ✅ Nothing to grind 🔲 Isn't necessary to progress 🔲 Average grind level 🔲 Only if you care about leaderboards/ranks 🔲 Too much grind 5/16 GAME TIME / REPLAYABILITY 🔲 Long enough for a cup of coffee 🔲 Short ✅ Average 🔲 Long 🔲 To infinity and beyond 6/16 MULTIPLAYER ✅ No multiplayer 🔲 Trashy servers 🔲 Some hiccups 🔲 Smooth and pleasant experience 🔲 Co-op 🔲 PvP 🔲 PvE 7/16 GRAPHICS ✅ Stuck in the last century 🔲 Low Effort 🔲 Average 🔲 Good 🔲 Reality 2.0 8/16 AUDIO ✅ Earrape 🔲 Bad 🔲 Not too bad 🔲 Good 🔲 Eargasm 9/16 AUDIENCE 🔲 Kids ✅ Teens ✅ Adults 🔲 Everyone 10/16 PC REQUIREMENTS ✅ Potato 🔲 Decent 🔲 Fast 🔲 Rich boi 🔲 > NASA 11/16 PRICE 🔲 It's free! ✅ Not recommended 🔲 Wait for sale 🔲 Worth the price 🔲 Best investment ever done 12/16 FREQENT UPDATES ✅ Abandoned Last update: 7 January 2014 🔲 Last year 🔲 Once every year 🔲 A couple per year 🔲 Every week 13/16 BUGS / CRASHES 🔲 None / Not discovered 🔲 Minor bugs 🔲 Can get annoying 🔲 Frequent crashes ✅ Complete mess 14/16 MISC 🔲 Steam Workshop 🔲 Steam Trading Cards ✅ Steam Achievements 🔲 Content for Steam Points Shop 15/16 {?/10} 🔲 1 🔲 2 ✅ 3 🔲 4 🔲 5 🔲 6 🔲 7 🔲 8 🔲 9 🔲 10 16/16 VERDICT 🔲 Recommended ✅ Not recommended

  I tried to like this game. I really wanted to... and I'd be willing to give a sequel a look as well. However they're going to have to up the graphics and work on the controls, story, gunplay, enemy-play, everything. I realize its a port from a hand held game, but with whats on steam right now there are quite a few better alternatives for horror shooters on the PC. Most of the cool looking monsters and graphic videos on the store page are just from a few in game movies. If you have a few hours to waste and you dont mind the above then give it a shot. I did think that the "overseer" that was watching you was kinda creepy and that was a nice touch. ...it was also kinda cool taking out most of the enemies (including bosses) with a prison shank.

  TL;DR: This game feels like it really, really wants to be [i]The Suffering[/i] (particularly in terms of story and setting), which is what I recommend you go play instead. Graphics-wise, for a Nintendo DS port, it's not bad when bumped up to Fantastic quality. I didn't have any problems running it on my system in terms of FPS, so it's not like it's a bad port, but I wouldn't call it "HD" either. Sound quality's a more mixed bag; some sounds were okay (I think because they were fixed in a patch), whereas others are tinny and very low fidelity. Where [i]Dementium II[/i] really falls down is the gameplay. Enemies are bullet sponges, and there's no discernable difference between most weapons. It takes the same number of shells, bullets, flamethrower uses, etc. to kill most common enemies. Except for sometimes, when one inexplicably dies in one shot (maybe I got a headshot? It's hard to tell where hitboxes are with the enemies' herky-jerky movements), and other times, when one inexplicably takes 6+ bullets to kill. I don't even know. They do try to mix it up a few times, mostly with the bosses (the fight against "The Giant" was actually kind of fun). And sometimes with unkillable enemies, or enemies that KO and then revive, because everyone loves wasting ammunition! ...Seriously, the combat is borderline atrociously bad. On the plus side, it was only ~5 hours long, and I got it on sale for <$4 USD. ...Still though. Just go play [i]The Suffering[/i]. Trust me.

  i finally beat this game so i can give it a fair review... It's an awful game. When i first came into this game, i went in an open mind. I knew nothing about the game, i just wanted to try it out. The gameplay was extremely slow and painful, some of the creatures were annoying and back tracking was a pain. The story was just a "WTF" type of story to me. The overall enviroment was like "Silent Hill' but crappier to all craps. I really did not enjoy this game, if you plan on buying it, BE WARNED.

  Sigh. It's really such a shame to say that I wouldn't recommend this game. I remember seeing this game for the Nintendo DS, but I never got a chance to pick it up. And then this game come to PC with the "HD" version on the title. Saw the negative reviews on the front page but it really can't be that bad right? Since it's horror and everything I figured I might as well try it myself. The term "disappointment" is a horrible understatement. I didn't expect much graphic wise since it is a port but despite the HD upgrade on the PC, the graphics are still behind the times and everything about it feels outdated. The gameplay is probably better for the Nintendo DS but abysmal for the PC and it's not just the gameplay, it's everything. The sounds repeat for each monster type, the combat music is the exact same loop and the ambiance music is the same. As for the story, well there is a little to no story in the game. You can pick up notes and things but even they do not offer any kind of story, just hints on your current situation. Trust me, there's more story on the description page than the actual game itself. The monsters are the same warped grotesque things we have seen in the entire Silent Hill franchise and the terror effect no longer exists. Enemies act and look the same to their type. Again there is no explanation for these monsters and why they exist. Most of the game takes place in prison walls, and while there is the occasional town to break up the scenery, most of the game looks pretty flat and dull before long. Colors tend to stick to realistic browns and grays, and while the monsters show some different colors, even they often stick to darker versions of bright colors. Everything looks drab as a result, and the lack of variety in the locations only makes looking at the game that much less interesting. The walking speed is the speed you should be when crouched or laying down in other games and the run speed is the walking speed. You must hold down the run button the entire time you play but it's okay since you have infinite stamina. You can pick up health pills, medkits, adrenaline shots and poison resistant bottles but I never once used the shots, bottles or medkits and only a couple times used health pills. You can also get a flashlight that flickers on and off constantly, but when it's on a weapon, it stays on. And then there's the bug. Oh yeah, the gamebreaking bug. You see, I've been playing for three hours and it's all fine and dandy. After encountered the second reanimator monster, I got teleported into the other world and fight against five of those face-spitting acid monsters. Done my business there and finally back to normal world and guess what? I can't get outside of that toilet room! I've tried running, crouching, jumping, slashing, shooting at the open door but the game still won't let me out. There's a machine gun ammo there but it sure as hell didn't help. So here I was thinking, eh maybe I can reload a few saves back and the bug will be gone! But nope, the game decided to say "Well son, that's what you get for not listening to the negative reviews on the store page! Now you get to experience it yourself." And as you can guess, the bug is still there. At this point I already gave up trying and decided to write this review. It simply baffles me how they can slap High Definition on this when all that was done was barely touching the graphics and adding cutscenes. Within three minutes you can predict when monsters will apear and how the game is going to go pace wise and gameplay wise. And it seems after all these years, the developer didn't even bother to fix their game. The lesson here? Listen to the other reviews before buying anything and it will save you so much time and money. There are dozens of other, better shooters and horror games for your money — ones that make better use of PC controls, sound, and graphical power, so you’re better off steering clear of this game.
