I couldn’t really understand the game, and I’m not able to keep progressing. That said, this isn’t a reason to leave a negative review. It’s just not for me, that’s on me, not on the game.

Dec. 2025

Easily the best game I played in 2025, after the dust has settled I can without a doubt say this a top 5 of all time game for me. This is the pinnacle of survival horror, you will feel beaten, battered, and spooked to the max. The feeling of hopelessly crouching in a corner while the most unsettling rustling and screeching you've ever heard happens right outside your ramshackle shelter, only to realize the angelic choir and blistering light of the sunrise is coming to your rescue at the exact moment all seems lost, just incredible. Stunningly beautiful artstyle, immersive soundscape, Lynchian dream sequences, disgusting creature design, bleak as hell storytelling, and some of the most visceral top down melee combat outside of Hotline Miami. One of the most banger main menu themes of all time. I've said enough, easy 10/10 and a game I will be replaying for the rest of my gaming career.
