BRO, the way this was hyped up lowkey destroyed the experience, I'm not sure if it just aged badly but it was so slow, tedious and not even remotely scary... it was easy but also time consuming, i almost quit a few times.. the darkness didn't add to the atmosphere.. it just makes the game more of a chore.. i am interested in playin the newer titles though and im hoping it was just a me issue

I think Darkness does add to games, but I also just dont like games being dark so I always crank up the shit, so I don't think its a mechanic for me. It's also not really scary because if you die you dont lose any progress. The world state stays the same so you can just run and do shit, die, then that shit stays the same. Takes all wind out of the game. The only tense shit is the water monster. The best thing about this one is the physic objects are fun.

I liked Machine for Pigs more, I think it has cool setpieces, but I guess it lacks in other stuff I dont care about. The third one is good I think, and The Bunker is actually tense.
