  • Pros:
  • Strong story and haunting conclusion, great voice-acting, gorgeous environments, superb soundtrack and nods to pop-culture fixtures

  • Character models look dated, game resets player progression at nearly every turn, leans heavily on combat, characters take on typical 'horror movie character' qualities
