Awesome game, thoroughly enjoyable. This was my first horror game and it didn't disappoint. I'll list the demerits first. Though they may seem like quite a lot, it's not a really big deal and still a really good game. 5-star for the effort and first dedicated exclusive in XSX Game Pass Ultimate :) Cons: * The fixed camera is both the plus & minus. It is annoying at times, but I understand that's how the devs wanted it, and it adds another dimension of complexity, which is quite cool. * Certainly there are some glitches and bugs, that must be rectified. * I dislike the auto-save function and the checkpoints. But having played Halo 4 & Halo 5, the checkpoints are fine. But maybe they should work on the auto-save feature. * This game didn't have anything outstanding to offer for a Series X. May as well play on Xbox One. Couldn't really appreciate Ray-tracing like you do in Valhalla or Watch Dogs L, because this is a one-dimensional story oriented game & doesn't take place a lot outwards. * The split screen is creative, but doesn't light a spark. I still loved the material world and didn't expect to go back to the spirit world ever. * The character sprinting and the power stamina is extremely low. * Game is interesting in patches, which may be true in quite a lot of cases. Pros: * Story-telling and character development is really solid. They really worked hard to set a solid story in place. * Music, audio & speech are awesome. The difference of sound between different tiles, plywood floors & ground is clear. The voice actors were really good, especially the male antagonists like Henry. * Game has a good balance of jump scare & creepiness. * Characters are well-made and locations are good. There are quite a lot of puzzles, and almost began to feel overwhelming but by the time, the game ends. This game is overall a great experience, and a good break from mainstream gaming and while waiting for better games to come.
