Niche Gamer
Absolutely dazzling and grotesque body horror imagery set in a Brutalist hellscape
Very tightly balanced inventory management system that puts the pressure on players
Unbelievably weird and intriguing premise and wildly creative level design
Weighty gunplay, tense gameplay, and heavy and impactful animation
Tons of well-written notes and flavor text that paint a bleak world with anti-communist overtones
Getting trapped in a room until you kill all the monsters is not scary, it's obnoxious

Games.ch
An exciting and very atmospheric setting
Attractive boss and monster design
Engaging combat system and motivating character progression
Good, detailed, attractive artistic graphic
Small mysteries and weightless passages bring variety.
Well-balanced and solid level of difficulty...
... but could easily exceed the abilities of beginners.
Two crashes (non-reproducible) on PS5 Pro, which forced us to redo a complete boss fight.

wccftech
Unique setting
Engaging mystery-filled story
Solid level design
Good wealth of combat options
Orphan incineration mechanics add an interesting layer of depth to combat
The first few hours of the game are really frustrating and unfun
Unremarkable visual enemy design that makes it difficult to distinguish between different enemy types
Some unfair forced combat encounters
Stuttering issues on PC
Limited graphics settings
Though well-made, the experience doesn't push past the boundaries of the survival horror genre

Series of included accessibility features
Reconfigurable key layout
Easy to use both with a controller and with a mouse and keyboard.
A fascinating mysterious story puts you face to face with decisions.
Recharging the blows and the danger of the enemy's fusion keep the fights exciting.
A multitude of hidden resources reward careful exploration.
The linear sections are interspersed with more open areas that you explore piece by piece.

The German location leaves a good impression.
Not an easy difficulty level, the hard mode must be unlocked.
Disoriented individuals will want to have a map.

The balance during the ammunition spawn is not yet optimal.
Some passages stretch out
The limitation to only six inventory slots at the beginning of the game can be annoying.

No gamma regulator
As with the remake of Silent Hill 2, there is sometimes a kind of glowing light around the characters/objects.
No German version
It is not possible to skip dialogues line by line.

M2 Gaming
The premise and the story are very good.
The visual is very well done
The visual and sound atmospheres set the tone!
Exploration sequences are stressful.
Classic mechanics of Survival-Horror type games
The difficulty of the battles is poorly balanced compared to the resources found. Lack of resources and credits for upgrading our equipment. The constant need to go back and forth to save our progress.

Enjoy the wonderful atmosphere of survival horror.
The sound of the game helps to create an atmosphere of terror.
Her story is surprising, and it is executed in a very interesting way.
It has resource management that will make you scratch your head.
The battle has a remarkable strategic component.
Although there is not a wide variety of monsters, they are well utilized.
Multiple performance issues that can hinder the experience
Sometimes, the aiming system is not 100% accurate.
The game itself can make resource management "complicated".

The atmosphere is perfect and blends fantasy and reality.
A true survival horror
It continues to grow, hour by hour.
Technically, it is not yet perfectly clean.
The narration is very fragmented, we may lose some pieces.
So difficult that it can become inaccessible for many.

Pizza Fria
Subtitled in Brazilian Portuguese
Immersive setup, bringing a constant feeling of tension.
Resource and space management helps to expand the climate of survival.
Stimulating enemies in the right measure
The performance on PlayStation 5 ended up being disappointing, compromising the gameplay a bit.
The gameplay could be a little more refined.
