The survival horror adventure sub-genre hasn’t had too many entries in it on Switch, but given the overall lack of horror games on the system I know many people have been tempted by them. With the original Coma title, while I appreciated the creepy atmosphere and feeling of dread, probably my biggest complaint about it is that the regularity with which you’d need to escape a gruesome death and hide was too high, so high that it virtually ruined the delicious sense of suspense… you just got to the point that being chased was a chore instead of a thrill. In the case of this Coma sequel pretty much everything on the whole is the same, but I’m enormously grateful that for this installment the being chased element has been toned down a great deal. This allows you to get in more efficient exploration, prevent the game from dragging so much, and makes the anticipation of what may be around the corner much more of a thrill. If you’re looking for some great periodic horrific imagery, a creeping sense of dread, and otherwise just a solid adventure with a decent story be sure to check this out!
