La partie gunplay tient encore bien manette en main, l'histoire est clairement l'élément le plus faible du jeu.

Played it right after release, lights off, jumped every time.

Half-Life 2 je l'avais fini avec mon frère qui commentait chaque script, ici j'étais tout seul dans le noir et ça change tout.

Next to Call of Duty 4 it feels slower and heavier, but the encounters stay tense far longer.

I remember it being scarier back then, or maybe I was just younger and jumpier.

La comparación no cambia que la IA envejeció y hoy hay títulos que la superan sin esfuerzo.

Plus jeune ou pas, on refait ce constat à chaque duel et le classement bouge d'un cheveu.

The lighting engine was impressive for its time, but the frame pacing on my old rig never felt smooth even then.

Not sure it earns the hype, the shooting is good but the scares fade fast for me.
