Oct. 2025

The first game had then groundbreaking AI fighting with you with the occasional decent horror moments and some boring environments to present all of this within. It was certainly not the greatest FPS ever made (not for me anyway), but it got enough things going on in it in terms of the core FPS gameplay loop to still make it a quite fun and memorable experience for years to come. The second game while still being a well paced, decently made and not unfun game to play, watered most of this down noticably in favor of broader general appeal perhaps (the AI is considerably dumber in this one, the scares are kinda crap and mostly riddled with these buttonmashy mini-QTEs which was the style at the time) while still trying to take the main criticism of the first game to heart (both the enemy and environmental variety are surprisingly good which were basically the only problems of the first game). All in all, slightly worse than the first, but certainly not a bad game still. And there comes the third game, this title, which was boring to play even with an online co-op partner, was more cringe fun than scary which it never ever was, has an almost annoying amount of b o m b a s t i c setpieces where you can run along with the scripted event's path for super-duper action packed actiony actionness (extremely scary horror stuff I know), kinda crap gameplay with somehow worse enemy variety than the second game and a dogshiet story to present all of this with. Also said story campaign is only 4 hours long. Boring, repetitive (despite being so short lol), uninspired, tonedeaf and generally unimpressive to experience. It's so bad it basically killed this franchise. Still I'd recommend trying it out just for the morbid necessity to witness just how wrong this game overall is compared to the great first one and the still decentish second one. Wait for a discount. Cheerz. ;)

This isnt that bad as people say. It did good job at gameplay, but bad at graphics and story. Horror element is better in previous games. It had some parts that scared me a little bit. I remember in the first fear when Alma apeared in garage, it gave me hearth attack. 7 out of 10. Sorry for bad english.

The combat style is so engaging that experiencing it with friends and cooperating to progress through the story and challenges brings incredible feeling to your group every moment Still worth playing...

Co-op mode. Dynamic and intense battles. Interesting story. Interesting characters. Not bad endings.

Dec. 2024

It's nothing more than ok. Feels completely different than the first 2 games but not in a better way. Worth a play if you get it in the bundle but don't think I will play it again. The first 2 games however are fantastic
