Just last night I was going down this hallway and I start hearing a Necromorph even though there weren’t any open spaces for it to come from, but that prepared me, so sure enough, it pops out of one of the vents I couldn’t see and I was totally ready. It’s just incredible how immersive it feels to play like that, hearing every little thing going around in the Ishimura, the weird constant whispering that I assume is Isaac hallucinating shit, and every enemy coming your way! Like, it’s so genuinely helpful being able to hear the general direction of where the Necromorphs are. Playing this game with headphones is a must. So many great things about this game, from the story and lore to the kick-ass survival horror gameplay, and the absolutely excellent sound design. I love the Resident Evil games and how campy and silly they can be, but… man, this is just pure horror and I love that so much. I still need to sit on it a bit but I think this may be my favorite survival horror game now. I get it now why the original was praised so highly. Finally finished this last night and I’m absolutely floored at how good this game is.
