Other reviews are stating there is a great balance. I don't know who to believe!tragabigzanda wrote:The reliance on gratuitous violence is a bummer. My favorite parts of the original were the quieter moments, punctuated by sequences of fright and shock. Not short interested in an inversion of that balance.

Yeah, by far the most negative I've seen (but well written per usual), but then again I've only skimmed through about 6 reviews total at this point. Judging by the meta blurbs, most of the other major gaming outlets are giving it a 10/10.Monkey_Driven wrote:Sure, but they're probably the most negative ones out there.tragabigzanda wrote:Oh?
