Everyone here praises this game's style. I wish I could enjoy it but the game is too fucking dark. As in literally I cannot see a fucking thing. I guess the environments are creepy by I can't see the creepiness if I can't see the environments.

Hard to the Core achievement is making me want to punch myself in the dick. Speedrunning is definitely not my jam.

I initially intended to give this one a 4/5 because of two things:

  • the perspective often caused me to completely miss the mark with a jump even though it looked like I was perfectly aligned with whatever I wanted to reach

However, I loved the last two chapters and the ending so much that I decided to give it a 5-star rating. Great game, definitely one I'll be buying the DLC for and maybe play it again for the collectibles someday.
