I really wanted to like this game. I truly did. It looked like a new game to fill the void the Silent Hill series left and I couldn't wait to give it a go. However, the story is just not engaging at all and the characters are very boring. Gameplay is also very stale with clunky animations and I found myself rushing to finish it by the end. I couldn't even tell you the main characters name it was that uninteresting. It's definitely trying to be a throw back to the horror games of the late 90s but it misses the mark I'm afraid.

That being said the atmosphere and sound design are awesome. The split realities where you see the spirit world and the real world at the same time is very unique. It looks like a next gen title in many areas. The music from the original Silent Hill composer Akira Yamaoka is great as well and makes for a nice spooky environment.

If you have gamepass, give it a shot, but I wouldn't pay full price for this one.
