Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
30 of 83 sampled reviews raised it
Despite its limitations it is one of the most well designed and enjoyable games in recent years that homages the mansion exploration of the original Resident Evil and it's a shame that it seems to have been criminally overlooked.
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
19 of 83 sampled reviews raised it
I would easily recommend this difficulty if you played games like RE7/RE8 on high difficulties and ready to conserve ammo / rotate your saves in case you make costly mistakes.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
4 of 83 sampled reviews raised it
This is also accompanied by surprisingly effective atmosphere with good audio design and appropriate visuals to make it more intense.
