Remothered: Broken Porcelain

Remothered: Broken Porcelain is a disappointing survival horror sequel with major performance issues.

Simply put, Remothered: Broken Porcelain was released in an unfinished state. Over the past week, the developers have released a patch nearly every day. Though this is commendable, it begs the questions of why it was released in the first place with so many problems.

Remothered: Broken Porcelain is a textbook example of a bad horror sequel that mostly sticks to its predecessor's formula, without really understanding what made it work. Between a jumbled story, shortage of tension, annoying new mechanics, and a flagrant lack of polish, Broken Porcelain in a follow up only a mother could love.

What to write about Remothered: Broken Porcelain? If you've played the first one, definitely play this one to fill in everything about the story, which is really unique and interesting. However, if you're looking for a quality gaming experience, this game won't offer it due to the amount of bugs and poor controls. Some of the characters here you'll definitely like (Miss Reed aka Linn) and root for them, while others will just annoy you due to bugs and other issues. Not to mention the character of Mr. Stefan Ashmann, who got what he deserved.

The creators of Remothered: Broken Porcelain, try to tell a story but with no success. It is difficult to understand the sequence of events but also how they relate to each other.

The Remothered series has had quite a troubled and complex history. What started as a 2-D homage to the Clock Tower games was soon scrapped and re-imagined into a more cinematic survival-horror experience. The first title in this new series; Remothered: Tormented Fathers, was a sleeper hit amongst horror fans. Praised for its storytelling and scary atmosphere, it was pretty certain that a sequel would be on the cards.

Remothered: Broken Porcelain is a broken mess of a nightmare in regards to its convoluted story and broken experience.

If only the team behind Remothered: Broken Porcelain spent more time working on crucial plot points, character motivation and gameplay mechanics, then we could have a rather good game on our hands. As of now Broken Porcelain is just full of game breaking bugs, some of which the devs are desperately trying to get rid of. If you're planning to buy Remothered: Broken Porcelain anyway, at least wait some time before the game will be fixed.

Dark hotel is good place for horror story, but this time it doesn't work.

Overall, there just isn't much to say about Remothered: Broken Porcelain. Almost every aspect of the game disappoints, so you tend not to focus on any one thing while playing. The story was incredibly confusing, but everything else was pretty bad, too, so I didn't even care. It feels incomplete and not paid attention to.
