The reset that pulled the series back to survival horror: first-person, confined to a single decaying Louisiana estate, with scarce ammo and a family that hunts you through it. The Baker house section is among the best horror the series has produced. After you leave it the game becomes far more scripted and linear, and the boss design is the weakest part of the package.

A first-person puzzle game structured like a metroidvania: a small sandbox where new tools retroactively open earlier areas, and almost every corner hides something. Puzzle design is genuinely clever. Combat is the weak part — enemies are simple damage sponges that interrupt the puzzling — and the art style is plain enough to look cheap.
