WARNING: DO NOT BUY THIS ON PC!

Full live stream of the game here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VxUSRPXivfk

Pros:
  • interesting story
  • crazy, unique, and bizarre enemy/boss types
  • spoopy atmosphere, with a few good jump scares that got me pretty good

Neutral:
  • it's an older game, so expect dated graphics that not everyone will enjoy
  • poor lip sync, and sometimes lackluster voice performance
  • no auto-saves, and you can only save at specific locations - at times they were spaced fine, but a few times a couple more locations would have been nice to prevent backtracking

Cons:
  • constantly crashes when alt-tabbing and also during loading, not to mention the very long load times (even running on an M.2) - after installing a fan-made patch, the crashes seemed to be much less frequent though
  • constantly experiences game freezing when trying to save, load, or anytime a cutscene is about to start playing, as well as some other random frame drops here and there (Win10, GTX 1070 TI, i7-6700k, 32GB RAM)
  • the audio is sometimes broken, and you can only hear it in mono instead of stereo; on top of that the soundtrack just feels very awkward and out of place during many of the dialog scenes
  • combat feels incredibly sluggish and clunky, and it can be extremely frustrating on some of the encounters; this frustration can be even further amplified due to the VERY limited health and ammo in some areas

Conclusion:
Seriously, whatever you do, do not play this on PC. The PC port is absolutely terrible. I am almost positive that I would have enjoyed it FAR more had I played on console. That being said, even without the sheer brokenness of the PC port, this game is bound to infuriate some people with the combat.

From memory, the console versions are pretty bad too, on a technical level. Frequent horrible slowdowns and such... The PC IS theway to go.
