The brothers are on a mission to confront their mother.

What players say

69% of 7,899 reviews are positive · 54% of 57 in the last 30 days

Players praise the co-op campaign and gunplay. Many say the campaign is short and shifts too far toward conventional action, losing much of the earlier games' horror atmosphere.
