This game was meticulously designed to be as annoying and a frustrating as it can get. Everything about this game works so well together to form an utterly asinine experience(except you handsome jack, i love you)
The quintessential survival horror game. A beautifully horrific mix of excellent survival gameplay with gut-wrenching writting, neatly tied with some of the most morbidly delightful artstyle I've ever seen, AND a atmospheric soundtrack to make you piss yourself if the rest wasn't enough already.
Honestly, I can't help my fromsoftware fanboy-ass rotted mind and I I must compare this game to another classic, Bloodborne. Both games invoke very similar feelings, of constant stress, tension, disgust and of course, the lovely existential dread. Also both start of with you killing dogs, then more mutated dogs.
But at least Bloodborne was kind enough to have a place particularily designed to rest and calm yourself down :). No such privilage in Poland, sorry
There is no escape from this accursed forest, no easy button to press to make everything seem ok. You either choose to live in BLISS, in an endless slumber, or choose to fucking BURN THEM ALL. BURN THE FOREST, BURN THOSE FUCKING CHOMPERS, BURN EVERY SINGLE PLAGUE INFESTED BASTARD THERE IS, which also sadly includes that poor musician(may god rest his soul, if there even is one, or just another 'BEING")

This game made me realize that I really, really do not like 2010-ish cover shooter gameplay, no matter if it's uncharted, spec opps or this game. Luckily most of these kinds of games somewhat make up for that with alright narratives but this game does this to its full extent, by creating(with help from its superior sequel) one of the strongest portrayals of the wild west from any piece of fiction
PS: PLAYING THIS GAME WITH A CONTROLLER IS ASININE
