Terrifying
This is not the most sophisticated but it does deliver intense visceral thrills. It works really well if you try to avoid enemies as much as you can and if you have to hide from one try to leap out of the hiding space when they're fairly close but before they actually find you. This tends to give you just a few seconds head start. Basically they were so surprised that they don't run after you immediately. I've never experienced the stealth and chase mechanics actually failing. Anytime that there is an enemy you want to hide from you can always find a good hiding spot. This is not true of all stealth games. Almost nothing gets my pulse quite as high as this. It's also great the way that you can sometimes block a door by pushing something in front of it after you close it behind you. There are some very memorable antagonists in this and they do a pretty good job of spacing it out so you never tire of any individual one. The plot is fairly ridiculous and mostly exists to stitch together a bunch of levels and scares. Its graphics are pretty good. The pacing definitely does feel like a roller coaster. Personally I think the pacing is better in the Penumbra and Amnesia games. In this one it kind of goes very extreme from almost right away. There's a room maybe four minutes into this that has 10 decapitated heads. You don't see the results of violence quite that intense right away in those games. It was only on one of my replays especially when I had just played Frictional Games titles but eventually I did end up kind of wishing that this would have just slightly more complexity to puzzles and such. Basically there's some key hunts other than that it really is just going from point a to point b. I believe the idea was that they wanted you to focus entirely on the enemy encounters and not be distracted from them by the puzzles. And in fairness I do think that for example Amnesia the Dark Descent has the polar opposite problem, though I do overall prefer that to this.
