200th and still losing ground against the same three or four games every time. Why does this keep getting overrated for its "atmosphere" when the actual combat loop is repetitive after the fifth hour?

Same enemy types the whole way?
Kuphal99
Which fifth hour are we talking about, because mine got better around then, what boss wore you down exactly?

Je n'y joue que par sessions courtes le soir et pourtant l'ambiance du bâtiment me suffit à revenir, même si les combats se répètent un peu je m'en fiche.

played this right after a bad breakup, remember zoning out for hours in that building
ArcadeOwl
the shooting feels floaty and the loot system adds nothing, just padding

The votes here keep pitting it against narrative heavyweights, which skews things unfairly against a game that's actually about mood and space.

I played through it during a really rainy week when I had nothing else going on, and I remember getting stuck on the same enemy type for way too long. The environment was cool for about an hour then it started blending together, hallway after hallway of the same concrete.

pareil, moi aussi j'ai fini par me perdre dans les couloirs, un peu perdu tout le temps mais l'ambiance rattrapait ce sentiment perdu

Perdu comment exactement, tu retrouvais ton chemin ou tu tournais juste en rond des heures ?

Ah sí, otro juego con oficinas grises que da miedo, qué originalidad tan refrescante.
