Most helpful, recommending the game

Greatest horror game of all time. The monster designs are a classic and it's just as good as I remember (AKA watching YouTubers play it 14-16 years ago). Beat the game twice so I can go play all the mods now! It's not a hard game at all, even though some of the solutions are a bit far fetched. Play with the darkest gamma. 😈 Just wish there was a way to remove the nauseating effects without altering the game files and a way to remove the blinding white flashing during flashbacks. Highly advise skipping this game for people with motion sickness and light sensitivity like myself. I powered through it, but the lack of accessibility options are glaring. Either edit the game.cfg files or hope someone will release a mod one day fixing this.

Most helpful, against the game

Although I appreciate this game's influence on the entire horror genre, I didn't enjoy playing it. The game pretends to be a chilling psychological horror. But it felt nothing like that. It felt like an extremely boring puzzle-solving game set in a cartoonish dark castle with some goofy creep with the dumbest Ai possible chasing you here and there.
