With well-diversified gameplay that combines escape moments with always challenging puzzles, SOFTSTAR's production does not show any obvious weaknesses.

Late Review“The Bridge Curse 2: The Extrication was a scary and campy ride from start to finish! The eerie buildings of Wen Hua University were a treat to explore as well! The story, while a tad bit dragged out near the latter half, was still very exciting and had me invested to the very end! Despite my complaints, the game was still a fun, campy time that you should play this Halloween!”

Late Review“The Bridge Cruse 2: The Extrication is a short but fun horror experience. My initial impressions didn't leave me too enthusiastic about what was to come, but I'm happy to say that things changed pretty fast. While the first encounter felt like the game wanted us to be afraid of the security guard, which I wasn't, it's what came next that was truly scary. Once the game started diving into the history of the school, the events that lead to ghosts haunting the halls, and the overall mystery of it all; I was hooked!”

Late Review“There is a lot to enjoy about The Bridge Curse 2 The Extrication from its well written story and characters to the unique monster designs. Its just a shame those monster designs lead to a lot of boring run and hide sequences. Those who enjoyed the first game or even the movies of the same titles will surly find a lot of love here.”
