The editors didn't like

  • Character control can fight against you. Some graphical issues.
  • The game is rather short—expect around eight hours to beat it
  • Some of the sections where you're simply walking or driving from one place to the next are tiresome and drag on way too long
  • The product placement is seriously distracting and out of place
  • Character models look dated
  • Game resets player progression at nearly every turn
  • Leans heavily on combat
  • Characters take on typical 'horror movie character' qualities.
  • Some long gameplay slogs throw off the otherwise tight pacing
  • Stilted voice acting and character animations.
  • Lacks surprising
  • Memorable gameplay moments.
  • The game can pull you out of the experience by sometimes feeling a bit too gamey and with its overuse of ingame advertising.
  • Too linear
  • Wanting to rush through for story
  • Not enough breaking up of the gameplay

  • Skuffet? Ja, det må jeg desværre sige. Remedy er blevet overhalet af spil som Gears of War, Uncharted 2 og Heavy Rain. Grafisk er der, især i dagslys, store problemer med at følge med nutidens spil. Kameraet kan drille lidt, især i spillets få men halv...
