7.5/10
Pros:
-the story and writing. looking forward to the sequel.
-setting, mood, and atmosphere - misty, quirky small town in the Pacific Northwest with mysteries and weirdos aplenty
-flashlight and manuscripts - could have played through a game with no combat and with investigating and surviving instead.
-the Night Springs videos
Cons:
-padded levels, find yourself waiting for the next story cutscene. level design is usually pretty good, but it's very drawn out.
-frequently surrounded by new round of enemies. not difficult, just tedious, especially with some clunkier gameplay and low stamina/mobility. I did like the flares and flashbangs, however.
