Is this worth it? Better?

I bought it last year after finishing part 1 and was enjoying it until I reached the subway tunnel areas where you have to change the scene based on the case you're trying to figure out on the investigation board. I went through all the areas and then he just kept saying that I missed something and that I should go back to the board to figure it out and I kept walking through the areas and changing the story and nothing made any sense as to why it said I didn't do it correctly. I watched some guides but they didn't help because I had already run through all of the areas and I just quit out of frustration after wasting hours walking around in the dark. That's just my experience and maybe I'm just too dumb lol

Enemies are uninteresting bullet sponges, the game is made "scary" with cringe full-screen jump scares, all of the "difficulty" is wrapped up in the game not communicating or deliberately obfuscating the "rules" and thinking they're "clever" for it (meaning once you trial-and-error things by dying and wasting your limited resources it becomes a walk in the park), and the central "solve the case" mini-game is just a time-wasting "close your eyes and randomly mash buttons" exercise to force the game to tell you what you already know and allow you to advance.
And all the while the game is so up its own rectum about the cleverness and artistry of the "author living in their own writing" conceit - and how smart and awesome they are for exploring such a deep and meaningful trope - you just want to roll your eyes and slap the authors more than you want to sit back and enjoy the ride.
TL;DR - If you didn't like the first one, the second one is more of the same, but worse.
