Verdict: While the game isn't everything I hoped and it does fall seriously short in some areas, the things that really matter in a horror game such as atmosphere and solid game play are a really good return to form for Survival Horror from the guy who revolutionized it in the first place Shinji Mikami and its great to see him return to what he does best with one of the best games in this genre I have played in a long time. In the 18th Century, John Cavendish, a Scottish adventurer, arrives in Tuscany and makes his fortune from his expert knowledge of botany and agriculture. There are some things that got on my nerves like some kind of cheap invisible enemies and some segments that felt a bit to much like action shooter set pieces which would be fine if ammo was more plentiful but over all the game play is very solid. You can also find what I called Brain Juice throughout the game which can be used to upgrade yourself and your weapons in the save area. ![]() You will find yourself looking around a lot for ammo and health items which in some parts of the game can be pretty scarce leading to some panicked moments especially against bosses. The game is mostly a lot of shooting because melee combat is pretty much useless and the gun play is really fun and tense. Game Play: This is honestly kind of a mixed bag, I know this has been said before but think Resident Evil 4 meets Silent Hill and you'll be on the right track. The characters I have to be honest did almost nothing for me, I did kind of like Sebastian because of his almost not giving a crap attitude throughout most of the game and the dynamic between him and Joseph when it was allowed to be explored (which doesn't happen often) was kind of charming but besides that I just didn't care about what happened to any of them. The story is not really bad but is pretty cliched and the pacing is really all over the place but I will say that I did want to see where everything was going so I have to at least give it that. Story/Characters: Yeahhhhhh this is where the game kinda falls short. ![]() That aside like I said the game looks and runs great and the visuals along with the sound design definitely made me pretty tense during some parts of the game. Now I will say that the cut scenes at least on the PS4 and PS3 versions of the game have issues, from popping in textures to the occasional stutter. The textures, resolution, and frame rate (at least during game play) are all great on the PS4 version at least the PS3 version has some frame rate dips now and again. Dark, dank, and disgusting yes but beautiful as a horror game should look. Graphics/Sound: Okay I have heard before that the graphics in this game are not very good, I have no idea where that is coming from I Graphics/Sound: Okay I have heard before that the graphics in this game are not very good, I have no idea where that is coming from I personally thought the graphics were beautiful.
