Okay, this night be an unpopular opinion, but I'll say it anyway... I found this better than the first one! But mostly because you're already hooked with the main characters, and they make you want to know more about the other characters too.
They'll make you fall in love with the cast - without actually telling much. Idk if it was intentional but they only revealed enough about each character, thus, making you root for then cause you want to know more! That said, the minus 1 point for me ALSO goes to the idea that they didn't allow us to get to know the interesting characters more. Our idea of them is ... too shallow.
But other than that, the entire thing's very INTERESTING AND FUN. What makes this better than Saw is it's not GORY. I love GORE but sometimes you want to watch something intense without having the urge to shut your eye or throw up. This is that! Intense, skin-crawling but never too gory. The puzzles were SIMPLER - maybe cause I already know the formula from the original film - yet still effective. I also love the twist!!! Makes a lot of sense to me.
