I liked the first game for the horror aspects. The sequel's use of comedy was annoying, imo. I couldn't connect with the characters and didn't like them at all. Once Joachim was introduced, I knew the game wasn't for me. I like some slap stick and comedy, but Covenant was bordering on overly silly for my tastes, which was disappointing, because I really wanted to like it.
That and the one screen towns, boring dungeons, or gay jokes really didn't sit too well with me. I'd like to give it another go, but I fear I'll get the same result.
