a fantastic horror ride that manages to be incredibly human and relatable, a lot of the solutions to puzzles happen to be everyday household items such as air dryers, bleach, detergent, nail polish, clothes hanger, pork liver, matches and etc, this form of progression helps ground the game and give it a sense of realness which in turn enhances its already incredibly executed horror, it knows how to build up jumpscares well and the otherworld being more present and rustier and bloodier than ever also helps. Heather also has human reactions to monsters and the otherworld, not only via story cutscenes but through the feverishly personalized flavor text, contemplating on calling the cops, reactions to the variety of horrors present in the otherworld, etc all of this boils down together to create an amazing experience. The gameplay side of things has been ironed out at last, the weapon variety is appreciated and most importantly the bosses all manage to be engaging and memorable as opposed to the series's previous Mexican standoff battles. Visually its entrancing and mesmerizing, the cutscene direction specifically.
