VGChartz’s Nicholas Taylor: “Overall, I found more to like than dislike with Fatal Frame II: Crimson Butterfly Remake, but there are some very clear flaws in this one as well. I think it’s probably a very satisfying game to replay, especially considering the multiple endings available, some of which require you to complete the game multiple times. If you’re the type of player who likes to do repeated runs of a game, Fatal Frame II: Crimson Butterfly Remake probably earns itself considerably higher value, not only because you’ll have more play time put into it, but also because the types of frustrations I outlined above won’t matter much once you know on your own where to go and when. However, for someone like me, who only replays games if they really manage to wow me, Fatal Frame II: Crimson Butterfly Remake ended up being a largely pleasant experience which was interrupted several times by general frustration. I’d still recommend it to any fan of the horror game genre, but I’d honestly recommend Fatal Frame: Mask of the Lunar Eclipse much more warmly.”
