At default, I felt the sensitivity for the Joy-Cons was too slow and heavy, clearly targeting a more cinematic smooth camera feel, so when it came to using that sensitivity to navigate the world it just felt jarring. Layers of Fear 2 has a number of options to change in this area, allowing you to invert your X and Y inputs and also adjust your sensitivity. And if you want to choose your output you can do so there. You can adjust the master volume for everything, or go through and individually change the volume of your music, SFX, or voiceovers. Audioįor audio, there’s a nice range of sliders to choose from. You can also adjust the gamma in this area. For me, I felt it was nicer to play with no limits as at 30fps it seemed to stutter a bit. The first being what FPS you wish to play the game at, allowing you to either lock it to 30fps or set it to no limit which plays the smoothest. In video, you have two options to choose from. However, as noted in my review, when I started the game with it off I was unable to toggle safe mode on. There is a safe mode which looks as if it’s meant to allow you to toggle it on or off at any given moment. The smart crosshair will hide the dot when precise targeting isn’t needed, but when near something interactive the dot appears. You can either have it turned off, have it turned on -which shows a white dot centred on the screen- or have a smart crosshair. There are a few crosshair types to choose from. Vibration can be adjusted using a similar slider, but it’s probably worth mentioning that while a high intensity is good for gentle jump scares, when the monster or a loud bang occurs, the vibration can be incredibly strong.

For me, on a handheld device, the largest size was good enough. Additionally, subtitles have a scale slider which allows more precise size selections as opposed to a preset. You can choose your games language along with toggling the subtitles on. Settings Gameplayįor Layers of Fear 2 accessibility, most of the options are available in the gameplay area, although there’s not much. Although I felt these to be quite drawn apart with we instinctively doing actions ages before I was prompted to do so. Instead you learn the ways of the game through tutorial prompts that appear as you progress in the first few minutes of the game. I will note before I starting jumping into these menus, the game boots up to a title screen and there’s no dedicated tutorial. If you’re interested in how most of these settings are implemented into the gameplay itself, then be sure to read the review if you haven’t already! If you’re coming over to this post from our Layers of Fear 2 accessibility review, then you’ll be glad to find below what’s contained within the settings menu on the Nintendo Switch version of the game.
