Saw II: Flesh & Blood
The crazed serial killer Jigsaw returns with more gruesome torture puzzles that test the limits of human ethics in Saw II: Flesh & Blood. Set between the second and third Saw movies, Flesh & Blood puts players in the role of Michael, the son of the first game's protagonist, Detective David Tapp, who searches for clues to his father's death and becomes the latest target of Jigsaw and his strange apprentice Pighead II. The gameplay is again a mix of survival horror and puzzle solving with light combat elements. Players try to get themselves and others out of life-threatening situations by successfully completing mini-games and quick-time events. There are two types of combat: melee attacks and a variety of weapons in physical combat against Jigsaw's minions, or puzzle-based attacks using traps and environmental hazards. Various case files are scattered throughout the hotels, factories and sewers where the game is set, and players can also collect a number of Billy the Puppet dolls hidden in each level. As in its predecessor, Saw II: Flesh & Blood has multiple endings that depend on the decisions players make during the story.
