brilliance ruined by incompetence
at first i saw the scores and reviews and though to myself ''it can't be that bad come on'' because i was looking very foward to this game, turns out it is that bad and some more.
this game is a bealtiful and well crafted puzzle alen adventure with grotesque visuals that legit can pull you into this very atmospheric world, ABSOLUTELLY ruined later by shitty combat, don't get me wrong i am very familiar with survival horror but it legit (this is not my discovery, plenty of people point it out) shows that combat was an last minute implementation otherwise you finish the game in under 2 hours, the ass combat is there to add 1 more hour.
there is no other way to explain other than the enemies were designed to annoy you till you die, they will buggy block your path despite being made for you to get past them, turn on the aimbot and hit you, if you die you gotta deal with the awful checkpoint system that sometimes sends you 30 minutes back from where you died, making you re-do a lot of puzzles you already completed, but lets say you run past all enemies and avoid dying to cheap enemy blockage, then you finish the game in under 1 hour and a half, look i would be absolutelly fine if this game was a short but sweet experience, but its painful now, even more that there is bealty in its world, not even the ending bothers me and that one irked a lot of people.
