Beholder 2 greatly expands upon the entirey of the series' worldbuilding and excels at pushing a rather hm ordinary dystopian story at first glance toward something hardly describable with words.
this game is worth replaying, too, since i picked the debatably bloodiest way to play it first and foremost, but i'll def go through this again at some point.
having not so much to do with the first game's gameplay, i probably liked that even more in this game, especially as it varies as you progress higher and higher up the Ministry.
if the first game was hugely Orwellian, this one here gets more original. it also elaborates on some of the prequel's obscurities, e.g. you get to know why the state outlawed damn APPLES. peak!

1985/10 orwellall. overall. yeah.
