Why players love itThings to know
66% of themes are praise17% are divided17% are complaints
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
83 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
And in my opinion, it is way more fun when you have the perfect mix/balance of survival horror and action, giving you that huge satisfaction of game progression with a slightly better gun or simply just ammo for a more powerful gun.
Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
69 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
A good story, better than what I expected, if I'm being honest.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
43 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Yes, they improved the graphics (pre-rendered backgrounds), character models, voice acting, etc just like a remaster does.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
39 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Combat is actually okay too, it's tense and the weapons are satisfying.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
38 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The remarkable visual and sound effects make the player feel truly immersed in the narrow corridors, opening ominous doors and venturing into suspicious places.
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
32 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The difficulty scales well as you go through the areas and new enemy types are often introduced in a way that seems fair to what the player has available at the arsenal (difficulty chosen at beginning will affect this).
