Holy shit, this game.
I had this in my backlog waiting to finally buy a new graphics card and all i can say is that even if i only had this game to play it would worth the price alone. 25 years in gaming and i don't remember playing anything like this before. Well, maybe Penumbra comes close but this is like the best/scariest parts of Penumbra multiplied 100 times in a next-gen game that looks amazing also (playing on Ultra, at 1080p and constant 60fps).
Right now, i have no idea how far i am, i must have played at least 10 hours of it but i'm taking it slow. And i mean slooowww. Sometimes i find myself hiding in the same room for too long, just because that room feels safe and cozy. Just hiding under a desk in a safe looking corner while hearing the Alien searching for me from afar, doing all kinds of noises is enough for me. And i think this has to be the first game that managed to actually make me feel scared. And frankly, i never found any "horror" game scary ,ever. Except maybe Silent Hill 2 and 3.
I cannot believe how there are some very bad reviews about it. The game is not for everyone, that's for sure, but that's not a reason to give it bad reviews because for the rest it should be as good as it gets. I also think that its unfair to call it a "survival horror" and call it a day because its nothing like most survival horror games. Or maybe all these games weren't really survival horror to begin with, so there's that.
I'm not sure if this counts as an AAA game, it definitely looks like one (production values look expensive), but it doesn't feel like one. Meaning that most AAA games try to keep larger groups of gamers happy, aka, more mainstream. This game is like a complete opposite of that, almost like Dark Souls before it. And more. And that's exactly what i'm looking for.
Oh, and IMO, Creative Assembly takes the "nobody expected such a masterpiece from them" crown from Retro Studios and their original Metroid Prime. Kudos.
