I had high hopes for this game but in the end my expectations weren't met. It's obvious a lot of love went into making this game but it really needed more time in developpement to be released. The movements aren't fluid, you get stopped by bystanders. 25% of the time you won't climb the monsters and you'll get crushed instead. The story feel pretty tacked on and you can see the use of the procedural generation even in the story mode. You often won't be able (or it'll be almost impossible) to complete some side missions because of the randomness of the enemy sent after you. The game desperately needs more content. I was baffled to see a map or level editor wasn't available. This would go a long way to ensure replayability, at least more than randomly generated skirmishes. Not worth $60, maybe not even $30. Get it when it's $20 or they added some content, if they even bother. All in all, a real shame.

I kind of liked it but I can't recommend it for $60. It's a breath of fresh air for the series but I think the game is a year or two late. It has a good atmosphere but so do a lot of $15-$30 horror/walking games on Steam. It adds little new to the table besides an alright (kind of slow/clunky at times) combat system. Had it been $30 I'd say go for it. However I'd recommend the game to anyone who has yet to play a fps-horror game that game out in the last 3 years (Layers of Fear comes to mind although it doesn't have combat).
