Corpse Party 2: Dead Patient

Like I’ve stated many times throughout this review, I am fairly uncomfortable offering final judgment on the opening chapter of a game that, to the best of my knowledge, may never have a proper conclusion. However, given that this team has made at least one high quality story (in my opinion) with the original Corpse Party, I hold out hope that Corpse Party 2: Dead Patient will not be dead on arrival. And, with a little bit of polish to the KENIX Engine NEUES and a few worthwhile modes of gameplay added to future chapters, I still think the small GrisGris/Grindhouse team can take this game’…

If there was forward momentum on the subsequent chapters, or some kind of guarantee that the story will actually be completed, then Corpse Party 2 would be essential. I love this series for its sublime use of horror language and the pictures it paints with words rather than relying on (just) the visual grotesque. But this “latest” entry into the franchise only gets to be great if it’s actually finished.

If you want a horror title that’s kind of retro and has some more substance, Spooky’s Jump-Scare Mansion is worlds more fun and more scary and, debatably, even better looking than this, and you can get that for the low low price of free (for the original version).

Considering Dead Patient is a single, stand-alone episode in what is supposed to be presented as four parts there’s a strong amount of content. The gameplay in Dead Patient is stronger than any Corpse Party entry before and even with a step back graphically, it presents a more modern attempt at Team Gris Gris’ own brand of horror.

Corpse Party 2: Dead Patient is an interesting bite-sized horror experience
