Is Hollow 2 worth it for you?
We tell you who should skip it, too.
Play it if you…
Good fit- Horror action-adventure players who want combat and exploration in a confined spaceship
- Players who enjoy uncovering a character’s past through environmental discovery
- Fans of tense creature encounters who want both confrontation and hiding options
Skip it if you…
Saves you a refund- Players seeking a relaxed or meditative adventure may hit a wall when the game requires fighting or hiding from creatures.
- Players wanting exploration without combat may find the route demanding once creatures block progress through the station.
- Players looking for a climbing-focused puzzle game may prefer Jusant’s tool-based ascent and stamina management.
- Players seeking multiplayer shooting may prefer Abyssus, which centers on cooperative action.
Our take on Hollow 2
The bounce point arrives when exploration alone stops revealing the past. Players must combine movement, stealth, combat, and found equipment to clear the station, so anyone expecting a story-only investigation may hit a wall at sustained creature encounters.
What is Hollow 2?
Hollow 2 is a horror action-adventure set aboard Shakhter-One, a mining ship intertwined with Mark’s memories and family history.
Players move through the vessel and its dark corridors while investigating what happened there. Progress combines running, fighting, hiding, and exploration, with the goal of uncovering the truth and ending a recurring cycle. Weapons and tools found during the journey are used against creatures blocking the route. The game presents the abandoned station as both a physical location and part of Mark’s troubled mind, gradually revealing more about his past. Its stated objective is to purge Shakhter-One and destroy it permanently.
