Rate the Game: Week 60

Really torn on this one. It was pretty neat at the time but a lot of it is pretty forgettable. The stand outs are stuff like the mannequins in the shopping center or the faces on the people infected by the Hate. I liked the idea of a serial killer going after other serial killers using their MO and doing investigative stuff but it's not really something that's stuck with me after all these years. I'd do another playthrough if I had a copy to give it a thorough lookover with fresh eyes. I remember walking away from the first hours of playing it with the feel of it being a first-person Silent Hill, which would legit rock my fucking world if such a thing actually existed. I'm going to have to ponder it over for a bit before slapping a rating on it.
