Amazing world but lacking in combat and story.
I love the atmosphere, environment and visuals of this game. Probably one of my favorites in gaming. It hits the mark on Japanese specific horror elements that makes you feel you’re actually watching an old horror film.
The urban landscape is fun to explore and yet very eerie at the same time, given how there’s no people only the sound of the sounds of weather, animals, replaying speakers and the occasional ghost laughing or groaning.
However there’s lots to pick at with this game. Firstly a personal gripe is how the static is locked to only come out of the controller speaker and the overuse of static. “TuRn iT oFf” I would if that wasn’t the only way to tell that there’s enemies near by without using the vision ability.
The combat feels a bit wonky and some abilities or arrows miss when they clearly should’ve hit.
Most of the enemies are fine but that spinning umbrella guy is dumb, stupid and annoying . Shouldn’t be in the game.
As for the story, not much is really explained. Sure there might be some hints with some hidden notes stashed away in the corner of the map but let’s be honest, no one wants to go looking for essays to explain a games lore. A lots of stuff that’s left unexplained by the end of the game.

- Interesting game set in Japan with a focus on Japanese mythology.
- The gameplay is open world finish the objective reminiscent of far cry, sadly even with the setting the gameplay is bland.
- The plot is not really memorable at all, its serviceable but could have been interesting which is disappointing.
