Ok, I'll start of by saying I absolutely love the ambience in this game and the story is really good, Got to be one of my favourite horror games ever. but ill try to be unbiased because this game definitely has its problems
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
74 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The game is 'Good' not great gameplay wise but very good if you like a more mystery / paranormal horror game where 80% of the game is just puzzles and reading stories.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
31 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
When it comes to the remake, presentation has stepped up considerably; graphics represent the biggest improvement, with characters and animations that look far more advanced and expressive.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
26 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Just some random static, some footsteps in an otherwise empty hall, something knocking on your window, something screeching, something whining... the sound design here is absolutely amazing.
Interface
Players who bring up Interface mostly praise it.
8 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The controls are pretty fluid, upon release there were a few issues with the UI but they have been fixed and there is controller support for those that prefer it, I myself prefer the use of mouse and keyboard, of which the UI has mouse compatible interface, which it did not possess upon release.
