Open-world endless-killer Dexter the Game 2 unleashed onto the App Store

Everyone's favourite serial killer is back for more blood in Dexter the Game 2 for iPhone and iPad.

Following in the gory footsteps of the first game, you control Dexter, a forensic scientist who enjoys hunting down and killing criminals in his spare time.

While the first game was a linear affair, this second instalment takes an open-world approach, with Dexter free to roam the streets of Miami in search of his next quarry.

Also, rather than have you dishing out vigilante justice to a finite number of offenders, the game procedurally generates new cases and targets every time you play.

We'll be interested to see whether Dexter the Game 2's open-ended approach to murder increases the game's longevity, or renders it bland and directionless.

Don't tell Dexter we said that, by the way. No sense of perspective, that guy.

If you want to step back into Dexter's shoes, you can download Dexter the Game 2 on iPhone and iPad now for £1.99 / $2.99.
