A Masterpiece!
Imagine a mixture of "Super Castlevania IV", "Clock Tower", "Silent Hill", "American McGee's Alice" and an "Elder Scrolls"/"Dark Souls" game, with some subtle hints of "Project Zero"/"Fatal Frame" and a ton of other cool games as well. Maybe a sprinkling of "Game Of Thrones" too. Now imagine that this game is ALSO its own unique and distinctive thing at the same time. These reviews have a character limit and I could write an essay about this game. It's a masterpiece! It's the perfect blend of the survival horror and role-playing genres (feeling more like the former at the beginning and more like the latter at the end). The "rogue-lite" and randomised elements are handled really well too. The "game world" is relatively small but more richly-detailed and interesting than some "open world" games. There are a ton of interesting gameplay mechanics (such as the "curse" system). There's a ton of brilliant world-building. The monster designs are inventive and battles are suspenseful and challenging, even fairly late into the game (though there's also an optional "easy mode"). Then there's the story and the wonderful gothic Victorian atmosphere. This is a game with a distinctive creative vision and a unique atmosphere/personality. The sort of thing which... used... to be standard for "AAA" games. The characters are fascinating, the mansion and its grounds are interesting - and eerie - to explore. There is nothing else quite like this game, and it is a masterpiece. Initially, the price and system requirements made me hesitate about buying this game. But, after sinking 18-19 hours into it - including doing a lot of the optional side-stuff - it is worth every penny AND it has a resolution scaler too (which allowed it to run well on Intel HD 2500 integrated graphics).
