My favorite shooter so far. I really liked the references to horror films, weapon damage feedback and level design.

It has 11 weapons, they're very creative and different enough to justify the inclusion. The shotgun is always remembered as THE shotgun, but the dynamite is perhaps my favorite weapon in any game. It has a learning curve, but very satisfying to use it.

Game has 6 chapters, 4 from the base game and 2 released later. Each one has a secret stage hidden somewhere, boss and credits.

To get all the trophies I played each one 3 times (it could have been less, but it wasn't my initial intention).

The key hunting isn't bad as in others of the genre, I got lost a few times the first time, but on the second playthrough, knowing more or less what to expect, I realized that it's almost linear, and very few times the door was far from the key. The chapter "Cryptic Passage" can be accessed through the option menu, I had to watch a video to know where to go, but otherwise it was fine.

By jumping and shooting yourself in the foot with dynamite or the Napalm Launcher, you're launched high into the air. You can skip entire sessions and make really cool sequence breaks. I loved every second of it.
