As was prevalent in the original, Trials is much about the physical threat, the need to run, than a build up of suspense and dread. And it accomplishes this quite well. Plenty of running around, scraping together resources to patch up mistakes and make your way forward.

Cooperative has proven entertaining, at least so far with one other player. A decent mix of self-sufficiency and working together. I could see solo play being.. frustrating with some situations and lack of extra distraction power another player provides.

In general everything seems pretty smooth. A nice lobby area where you can assert dominance with arm wrestling and decorated prison cells. Plenty of unnecessary gore all over the place. Some of the AI can be too aware of your location even when 'unware', but most of the time aren't too bad. Like most coop games, particularly early access, the missing feature is content. Time will see how that develops, but what they have now is pretty good, and I appreciate the enemies with different advantages/disadvantages.

Become perfection?
