I'm a pussy, so I don't know what compelled me to buy and play this, but I'm glad I did.

The first few hours of this game are absolute terror, man. Running around the police station with like 2 handgun bullets and a half-eaten sandwich while zombies bang on windows is some classic fucking survival horror. Atmosphere on point.

Later parts of the game kept showering me with more and more bullets until the game turned into more of a traditional shooter. I think I finished with over 100 bullets to spare, which is kind of insane since I spent the first 50% of the game like a homeless drug addict scavenging trashcans for food. Game got WAY less scary after that.

Loved getting ominously walked towards by an unkillable hulk of a man. That character's fucking hilarious and I loved how he goes from easily the scariest thing in the entire game to a punchline. "Is this a fucking joke?" Yes, Leon, and it's really funny.

Who the hell designed this police station by the way. Also what's the point of giving me so many blue herbs if there's only one enemy that can poison you, and that enemy only appears in one extremely short waterway. That's it for the nitpick segment.

Alright, time to check out Silent Hill 2 next.
