“The story of this game is definitely more fleshed out than the first one, and keeps you engaged the whole time. The gameplay has some fun new elements we didn't see in the first game and the combat is better. It's hard…”
“As someone who's been a fan of bendy since 2017 this is an amazing game, the gameplay is really fun and the story is the kind of story that constantly makes you (me) question whats really going on, instead of just…”
“So this game is kinda like if the original bendy game had a baby with Bioshock in all the right ways... so its just the original with better storytelling gameplay and combat. 8.5/10 so far”

“Before i played this, i thought it wouldn't even get close to how much a masterpiece was the first bendy game.. But after i played this it's not a masterpiece, it's more than that its absolutely AMAZING CINEMATIC,…”
“The game is FAR worse than the first one. Yeah, prettier graphics e.t.c. But it lacks UX so much. Sometimes freezes in-action for little time, but mouse cursor jumps into space, hitboxes are crazy, you cant hit an item,…”
“A fantastic sequel and real step-up for the franchise! The new graphics look great and I think they did a great job of upgrading the artstyle while still keeping the core design! I also think not making it episodic was…”

“Really great game, and a little hard. The only problem I have, is that there are always cutscenes for every action, and that you have to backtrack all the way to Chapter 1 just to actually 100% the game. It's fun to…”
“A good puzzle game some puzzles are easy but others can be quite challenging If you're not familiar with the Bendy series. the game might feel a little difficult to follow at first. The creepy cartoon vibe is done…”
“bloody difficult but absolutely brill”

“Hell yeah this game is goated. 41h is all it takes for platnum. quick tip, when going for heavy hitter achievement - go to the spider-things egg lair and farm kills there. The ending kinda feels rushed tho, but I still…”
“So yeah I originally bought the first tile of the series. I kept skipping it thinking it wasnt for me but instead i purchased it and it kinda grew on me and I got intrigued by the story and art. So without hesitation i…”
“amazing sequel and storyline!! The ending felt a little rushed imo but I love the graphics and the hours + mechanics make up for it.”

“Well at the start I didn't get blown away of how good the game is, it was just normal, and i felt like it wasn't as good as the normal bendy and the ink machine but then it clicked, this game has things the other game…”
“The sequel to Bendy and the Ink Machine does a good amount of concepts well but fails to be as good as the original to me Powers such as Flow were a nice addition alongside sprinting although i didnt find banishing to…”

“As someone who didn't enjoy the first Bendy game due to its boring fetch-quest gameplay, I still gave The Dark Revival a go because I saw potential. The sequel was a rollercoaster of emotions for me. At first, I thought it didn't improve on the first one, and some mechanics were…”

Bendy & The Dark Revival is a sequel that beats its predecessor in every way possible. In terms of graphics, optimization (thanks for not capping the FPS to…”

It was so satisfying to finally dive deep into the lore and learn the truth about the creator behind the madness. play the first game before you touch this one. Even though there are elements that take place earlier,…”
