I can't actually believe there are so many people that don't like this game. Seeing the mid/kind of good reviews and playing the first 45 minutes of the game when it didn't have any action and there were just things set up , my early opinion was that I was about to play a crappy game and that I threw 40 euros in the trash can. As I moved one my opinion about the game kept getting better and better. It's definitely a horror game (45 jumpscares in 1 game can't automatically turn it into a horror. So don't be expecting jumpscares and sh"t in your pants. The game creates a horror atmosphere due to the fact that you are fighting for your life against deadly monsters in a high security prison and that freaks you out. There are some really brilliant ideas in the game such as UJC gun and consumables printer and the telekinesis gauntlet. In my opinion the game has 2 (main) disadvantages: the combat system which is kinda mid and sketchy and the small dose of boredom due to the lack of variety in the monsters,boss fights etc. When I saw this game in last year's gamescom I can say I was excited and I had really high expectations. And now that I finished the story mode 10 minutes ago I can easily say the game actually met them. One of the best survival games of the decade.
