Gonna break it down to you, it's a good solid game. But the whole thriller talk from Remedy was straight garbage. This is pure Survival Horror. Instead of Zombies you have Darklings or some shit, and possessed stuff, that you fight with light and bullets.
It's fun, but it's not great or very exciting. It can be scary and tense, but because it does it so much, eventually it becomes an exercise, just like Resident Evil.
It's not as action focused as the latest Resident Evils, that were basically action games, but it's mostly an action game.
All that bullshit from Remedy about being inspired by Twin Peaks and whatever, is just that, bs. Because, story exposition gameplay or just plain setting exploration, and the whole thriller thing, comes in very very small packages that have big packages of nothing like that in between.
I do like the presentation, more games should approach this serialized mentality. Is it worth the full price? No, its not, at least for me so far. It just screams of missed opportunities left and right. Sometimes you really feel "Damn, somebody could make a cool X files game", and that's kind of the problem. Why Remedy took 6 years to make such a linear, one note (Action is very one dimensional with some bling added here and there) game, that doesn't even spend that much time actually developing characters and story, is just a pretty big question to me.
Wait till it hits 30$, you won't lose anything. Spend the saved money on something else, and leave this game for a weak month.
