I loved getting back to this.

My opinion hasn't changed much regarding what I like or dislike about each entry, except maybe for the third game who feels undercooked in some parts.

But I did have a good time

A natural continuation of the first one. I am amazed at how they managed to stay consistent despite the 16 years gap.

That being said I like the first one more. This one tried to go with a more mature story and I feel it didn't manage to live up to the stakes. Still very beautiful and Peter McConnell's music is great.

The first point&click of my life. Played way back in 1996.

It's kind of weird when you think about how out the league it feels compared your typical Sierra game. No dead-ends, an in-game hint system and logical puzzles. A family friendly adventure made by the man behind Leisure Suit Larry.

It's just too bad it's not anything amazing. It's a very low-key adventure game that you will want to play only after you beat up all the classics. And it has some very underused features like the 3D projections or the main character's companion.

An interesting experience, albeit too short. Replay value can only take it so far.

I also wish this strayed from the movie and tried to be its own thing. I did like the elements it took from the book, though.

I guess most people who were expecting this were caught off guard by how well-made and faithful to the original this is.

I appreciate the effort, but I can't shake the feeling a lot of its faithfulness comes from a desire of just swimming against the current than an actual creative choice.

A lot of Silent Hill. And very little else.

The food and sleep system were great. But the game cannot stop itself from reminding you that you are basically playing a certain horror franchise in 2D.

This is how you do stupid.
1) Short
2) Direct
3) No nagging the player every five minutes about how this is stupid

The monster's design certainly doesn't hurt.

I appreciate a game that gives some love to the 3D era of the PS1.

This tries to steal some of that David Lynch vibe. I'm not sure how much it succeeds but I appreciate the effort

Not bad.

Very good in fact. Love me some cozy horror goodness.

This is an extremely ambitious game with a lot of replay value thanks to the early level capping.

Its originality comes from the setup. Early 19th Century steampunk meets D&D. Troika knew how to be inspiring.

It's just a shame the main story focuses more on the fantasy side, while the technological one is relegated to side quests.

It doesn't necessarily need a remake but it would be nice if some expert modders could delve into giving it more tweaks the same way they did with Vampires The Masquerade.

Super kawai

But it didn't cure my arachnophobia. I couldn't even play with the spider wolf skin.
