The game is great so far. Bloober Team did a good job. I'm only into the intro to the city and the atmosphere is haunting.

My son started it over the weekend, looks pretty impressive.

I'm loving it. The original was a very important game for me.

They took some of the cheesiness out (while still honoring those scenes) and really nailed the undertones of the 2nd game. There are so many little nods to people replaying the game and other games in the series, but I won't spoil them. I expect if this game is faulted for anything it will be for being less obscure about the themes of Jame's and the others in the town. Also ARFCOM told me to stack them deep (for a horror game on hard). Melee combat feels very skill based, but it is difficult to master. Later on I won't worry about expending all the ammo I saved.

Enable DLSS if you haven't. There are only a few weird artifacts but it helps the framerates. There are still tough sections on the hardware, but I expect them to be ironed out over the next few months.

Buying 9mm by boxes of 10 rounds is certainly terrifying.

lol

Also you and I got special knowledge that Japanese producers don't really understand.

I remember playing the original game, it was creepy as !@$$

is it worth $70. never played the original

It's longer than the original at least based on my first playthrough. Compared to how much you can spend on a movie or a book, yea you get your money's worth out of it. I was never truly terrified, but I have been stressed and scared. As a horror junkie that is worth it alone.

What are you guys playing it on?

PC. My 2070 Super at 1080p is starting to get a little long in the tooth. Still looks great but in a year or so with a new rig, I'll be excited to revisit the town. FYI, if you are a fan of the original or love good horror and writing, get this game.

I've heard of it but never played, it looks really well done

Me over here with my AMD RX570
