Horror game done right
First and foremost I have to say, despite what the imagery may lead you to believe, the game is sci-fi—that's all I'm gonna say about the nature of the story. It excels at "show, don't tell" and you will really have to explore and pay attention to understand what's going on. It's creepy and super absorbing, an introduction into a larger story. The horror nature comes largely from the gruesomeness (which can be tuned down a little within the settings), but also doesn't rely on cheap jumpscares to create the tension—that comes from the constantly persistent dread from the fact your character is a mere human and it feels like it in every way, that every missed shot brings you closer to your demise. That nearly enemy hit can be your last... Most upgrades make a noticeable difference—we're not talking fractions of a percent, we're talking 10% to 240%+ difference. New game plus is handled quite well, so much so that collectables are missing from it, while still accessible, to not distract any further. DLCs: - The Assignment and The Consequence. Although quite different gameplay from the base game, they are vital for the background on the main story and are best played after the first run and before the second, as they overlap with the base game. They not only unravel the mystery, but also set up for the sequel. - The Keeper. Is short, but interesting. You play as a version of one of the main game's bosses, not much to the story, but different perspective and feel, while maintaining the same atmosphere and environment. But if you are an achievement hunter, needing 100% on the game, I'd be wary. Some of them are literally insane.
