Have you ever encountered a boss fight so terrible it completely kills yoir enjoyment of a game? This one has one of those.
So Fatal Frame 4 has a lot of jank. Visual, control, mechanics... Tons of jank. This is fine in a slow-paced horror game where you can time your shots. This is NOT okay in a boss fight that requires laser reflexes, and can take off half your health in a single hit, (all your health on Hard), and can teleport, and has a shitload of health, and moves so fast hits don't register... And all takes place in a super narrow corridor, where he can just appear out of the wall and gank you.
The movement controls in this gane are TERRIBLE. Your move speed is glacial, and they couldn't decide if they wanted tank controls or 3D controls, so they made a terrible hybrid. Camera control is okay, but the PS5 controller's gyro is fucking shit and will occasionally launch your reticule into the ceiling for no reason. It's also a total diceroll whether or not the indicators on your camera are accurate or not. It can tell you you're locked on and the ahot is in focus, but then the shot just... Doesn't land. Why? Who knows!
This one boss fight is so terrible it may actually end my playthrough. Fatal Frame 2 did this same shit too, but at least that one saved the shitty broken boss fight for the final boss. Did no one play test this????
