Personally, I absolutely loved the original, but find this sequel to be a bit lacking. Other people already mentioned the old sanity system, but it's just that the whole fast pacing of the predecessor is lost, and that's quite a shame. Also, there are some cards with artwork that absolutely don't match the great Lovecraftian horror setting that the original matched so well. 3/5, maybe had been a 4/5 it is was not a sequel. Especially a sequal to a game I easily rated 5/5.
Absolutely love this game! Just unlocked the impossible badge, after like a bazillion tries on challenge 15. I get why people find that one freaking frustrating, but for me it doesn't decrease the fact that I had a huge amount of fun while playing this game. Definitely a favourite.
