LIKED

The absolutely gorgeous graphics and unique visual style, the large open level and its design, discovering the story with each scrap you find, the excellent variety of scares the environment and progression gives you, the various difficulty levels, the ability to save your game, the few well-executed mix ups to the Slender formula, a single playthrough can take you an hour or more, the extreme amount of immersion the game provides.

DISKLIKED

The only gripe I have with the game is the visuals - it's difficultto see, weather permitting (because there is weather and time changes in game) you're granted the chance to take in your suroundings of the park, it's difficult to distinguish what's what with the blurred effect.
