---{ Final Opinion }---
Wow, where do I even start? I *really* wanted to enjoy this game, I loved the demo, was part of the hype building up to release, bought it within the first hour it was released, played it in one sitting, the whole nine yards. But holy, none of that excitement could replace the most boring and frustrating 8 hours of my life. If you want this game because it looks like Visage or Biohazard, just save your money and replay one of those instead. The effectiveness of the ambient sounds quickly dissipates within the first hour of gameplay, because the horror aspect of the game actually relies on it quite heavily. After the halfway point, the jump scares are predictable. By that point, you'll find yourself absolutely fed up with the half baked, convoluted puzzles. These puzzles attempt to emulate the difficulty of the games it clearly draws inspiration from, but instead leaves you with 0 leads in an attempt to pass it off as an elaborate puzzle. You'll spend more time figuring out *what* the puzzle is than you will figuring out how to actually solve it. Make no mistake: these are not difficult puzzles, they're just genuinely bad puzzles. On top of the tacky scares and bad puzzles, there's two separate occasions within the game that bring up completely unrelated heavy themes that normally would have potential to enhance the macabre element of a plot, but instead are just thrown in to add nothing more than a cheap bit of edge to an otherwise dull story. After 8 hours, I can find almost nothing good to say about the game. Actually that's not true, I didn't experience frame drops on the recommended hardware, that's good I suppose. Seriously; from both a horror fan and a pre-release follower, just skip this one.
EDIT: The accessibility is also abysmal and an afterthought. No motion sickness settings for the awful view bobbing and motion blur, no brightness settings at all, no inverted controls for controller on PC, no individual volume settings. These things being overlooked is sort of inexcusable if you want the game to be played by those who require those accessibility settings.
