Right where do I start...turn the brightness up the game can be very dark, aslo it can get a bit hectic and you don't know who is friend or foe so you just swing your weapon in hopes it reaches a demon ,add that to darkness and its a bit hit and miss, the fear level mechanic is not my cup of tea, you have to be in light or next to another player so it doesn't deplete otherwise you turn into a demon, you can light bonfires along the way with matches but they are hard to find, so you find yourself at the top level of fear most of the game , there is a level up mechanic in the game but I maxed out the fear upgrades and it didn't seem to help at all, the game is very fast, you seem to not have enough time to look at found weapons and make choices as everyone runs off, this wouldn't be a problem usually but yep you guessed it FEAR LEVEL, the moment you are on your own it shoots up faster so you rush around picking anything up which could be a lower level than the weapon you have in hopes you can catch your team mates as they run off into the darkness.
The level I played was in a forest and there doesn't seem to be any diversity in map selection and we was left wondering if the game we just played was everything it offers, I have not played as a demon so I can't comment on that option .
All in all its probably worth the £30 for the single player aspect if you love the films like I do, graphics are awesome and it plays really smooth (ps5), other than that it just another mediocre game in a sea of mediocre games that have come out in recent months.
Here's hoping the gaming industry pulls its finger out.
GROOVY? not really!
