What players say

80% of 15,784 reviews are positive · 75% of 266 in the last 30 days

Players praise the dark atmosphere, classic survival-horror style, and opening train area. Their main complaint is the lack of item boxes, which they say turns inventory management into repeated dropping and backtracking; many also criticize the controls, fixed camera angles, and enemy encounters that can trap or stun-lock characters.
