I've seen a lot of praise for this GAF here on GAF, so I decided to get it from Amazon (it's friggin $14). I've been having a blast so far with it.
I'm early on (about 3 hours in), but this game is definitely impressive. In a way, it reminds me a lot of the original Bioshock, with a fantastic atmosphere and seemingly interesting story. It's pretty scary too, which is something hard to find in a horror game nowadays.
The gameplay is simple, but the mechanics and ideas behind it are something you don't see in games nowadays. This is truly a survival horror game, as you have to be smart with how you use the resources you have and one fuck up you do, it will cost you your life. I just finished a very tense session where I barely made it out alive, and I felt like a badass after a strategy I came up with worked well.
Even the audiovisual presentation has been a pleasant surprise. There are some rough parts in the visuals, but the style and atmosphere are top-notch, and the music and VO are damn good.
Shit guys, you were right saying that this game is a gem. Like I said, I'm still early on (don't spoil anything story related please), but if the game's quality stays like this, it will definitely be one of the absolute must haves of the system.
