How it feels

You sit in the dark, vigilantly scanning static-filled security feeds for unsettling, slowly creeping supernatural changes that test your focus and nerve.

What players say

Players say the production values are a big step up from earlier games, but the difficulty feels cruel and the anomalies too obscure, a departure from the series' core. Some notice the story is starting to move forward, while others report the game is surprisingly demanding on the GPU.
