Amazing Survival Horror with many inspirations notably Silent Hill 2, and Resident Evil 1 Classic - but this stands on its own and in many places even above those. The combat is overall great, with less tension in places due to spotty movement and the doors between rooms feeling off at times. This is worth playing if you're a hardcore fan of the genre. Great atmosphere and mystery here packed in a visually striking world. Fails for me in one area in particular - inventory managment - a core part of any game in this genre arguably, but taken a little too far. Ammo is maxed in inventory to a stiff amount, and doesn't allow multiple slots with ammo of the same type. On top of this, a key equipable item in the game (like most survival-horror games) is a flashlight, which in this game is actually an active item in inventory, so in a 6 slot inventory (with no upgrades) you're going to be capped at 5 slots for most of the game considering how useful the flashlight is - and necessary in certain parts. It hampers the tempo of the gameplay to be even more slow and moving between item boxes than even Resident Evil ever was. Otherwise though an amazing game to play and experience.
