I had a great time with this one but (so far) it really was the hardest. I feel really bad for the people who played on PS1 without infinite saves.

There are one or two times where the game disrespects its puzzle design philosphy in ways you're not expecting which may leave you without knowing what to do.

Don't get me wrong, the solutions to some of these puzzles are ingenious but sometimes you might not be compelled to try certain things because the series so far taught you not to stray too far from the formula.

I both appreciate and understand these decisions though, it was just extremely unexpected.

Also, there's something really off about the gamma levels /lighting. For the first time in the series I felt the need to adjust the gamma setting because otherwise I was burning through my flares like no tomorrow and they last only a couple of seconds this time around.

All in all a great game, I'm looking forward to its remastered version.
