This idea behind the game is incredible and the way the game looks is magnificent. If the game had more substance to it it could truly be a masterpiece, but it does not. Some safe areas warp you to other locations while some don’t making the map more confusing than it should. The main goal of the game is to find the all of the save spots in an area before going onto the next area; which is already studious, but also they almost all have the same formula. Get like 2 then get a power up then get the next 2, rinse and repeat. The enemies do scale and you really do feel like a movie monster while fighting enemies, which in general is something the game is really good at. The rapid movement of the entity you control combined with the expanding arsenal you are given does really give you the feeling of being a creepy, powerful and vile creature. The only problem is that I do not want to continue that experience with how dry the gameplay loop is that its not even trying to hide how repetitive it is. Maybe I’ll finish it one day but I don’t have any interest playing it again at the moment.
