The more I see of this game, the more shittier it looks.
- Recent previews reveal lots of senseless gore that continues the trend developers have been following. Gore isn't scary. Especially senseless gore. It's just stupid and disgusting.
- This "Revuk" character seems like another Amnesia-esque enemy. Chases you everywhere, invincible, and deals massive damage. Again, not scary. Annoying. Not being able to kill something eliminates the factor of choice. Fight or flight. All these characters do is spook you out once you turn a corner leaving you to turn around and run. I think having the choice to face an enemy or not is the pinnacle of fearful enemy interactions.
- Apparently you can use environmental weapons to aid you in fighting enemies that come in ample supplies. That's lame as well. Item management just got a lot less important.
- There are "contextual executions" like Resident Evil 4. Thanks for the action-packed action in my "survival horror" game.
Looks like another failed attempt to bring back survival horror. That genre is pretty much dead. We've moved from Survival Horror to Action Horror to Haunted House Horror to Gore Horror.
So far, 6/10 might rent.
