I'll be first to admit I was way too harsh on this game on launch, and more so on my overall rating of what I played.

A lot of that had to do with:
-Not knowing it was more of a melee game
-Glen calling it AAAA
-The shimmy sections
-Performance issues at launch

I've been going back through it now on ps5 pro, and I have 0 issues with it. My major gripe is I wish it had more bosses, and had learned more from dead space.

All of its core issues are minor and fixable with a sequel. One which we will never get. I think as a third person survival horror fan, and any other fans out there of the genre, we kind of fucked ourselves by being overly negative on this one.

Glen likely will never rear his head again, and while he's a semi douche, he did build a great game with some talent.

I mean, this is still the best facial tech out there to date isn't it?

Second playthrough id raise my 6/10 to an 8/10 here.

RIP the franchise before it could even take off.

One of the greatest visual of the last gen, easily.

Played it on pc and it was a breeze (not on launch, though).

First playthrough is a melee game.

NG+ is basically Resident Evil 4 / Dead Space, game is a complete 3rd person shooter, no melee ever needs to be used.

I do not see myself replaying it ever again. I did not enjoy the journey in the first place. I can take only so much crawling and squeezing between sewer pipes. It is too long and automated. If it started with snow section I might see differently but I do not want to crawl through shit again just to get to a moderately entertaining section. The setting for most of the game just sucks.
