Me surpreendeu positivamente. O jogo e basicamente um Pacman de terror, mas ele consegue fazer isso funcionar de uma maneira bem unica. A historia também e bem legalzinha. O único ponto que deixa um pouco a desejar é na questão do terror, o jogo foca mais no susto do que no medo, de qualquer forma o saldo é positivo 8,5/10.

Holy shit this game is good. Gameplay is some of the most addicting and fun shit I have ever played, graphics are at times SHOCKINGLY beautiful (bearly buried zone 3 my beloved). The music is just out of this world, never have I listend to such bangers while being chased by killer monkeys. The only thing that bothers me is the seemingly lack of care when it comes to bugs and the opinions of players. While it's cool there are spin off's already, even merch, the thing that bothers me is the state they left it in while chapter 5 cooks. For hell's sake bearly buried zone 3, the one I praised for being the most beautiful part of the game, is so bugged that sometimes it's not even worth playing. Let's just hope chapter 5 doesn't repeat the mistakes of previous chapters (rushed development and such)
