Atmospheric, suspenseful, a map that becomes more intimate and familiar the more you traverse it, an ammo economy that forces you to pick and choose what to fight and what to run from while still giving you enough to deal with the mandatory threats. Then there’s Mr X, who throws a wrench into your rhythm once you start feeling comfortable, and raises the suspense up to 11 with the knowledge that he can smash through the wall like the Kool-Aid man at any given moment and corner you in a tight space full of enemies that you tried to avoid. The only thing I didn’t much care for was the bosses, but otherwise this game is excellent.
