exquisite horror experience. gameplay is great, really nailed the feel of controlling a sedentary loser that happened to have shot guns before needing to(the lantern is the crosshair!!!), dodge animation is really neat and the way it almost always actually looked like alan was moving out of the way of an axe the instant before he got bisected, running sucked, driving was kept at a minimum for a reason. by far the best this game has to offer is the story and characters; it feels huge but also intimate, its themes arent anything ground breaking but the classics are classics for a reason. but damn, is it ugly, i dont know why this steam release is locked at such a low res but thats what i got, i could see the stretched out textures without even trying and the face animations didnt live up to the amazing story being told, really dig the ost too, will definitely listen to it on its own
