The fact these games are so different to the same generic and tiresome games that get released every year, sometimes it nice to sit down and play a strong story driven game

Agreed. But the price they charge for them isn't worth it. Especially when the first two were no longer than 3 hours long. And they charged around $70 (aud) at release.

Lol yea. It’s different compared to other games in the sense that those are actual games and this is more some crappy horror movie that you get to “control.” It gives you the worst of both worlds. A bad game and a bad movie.

The monsters are no hallucinations, that's pretty much the best thing you could do to elevate the previous two games.

This game is not a horror game, there was one jump scare at the start, then it just turns into a survival movie game, nothing compared to little hope or even man of Medan, there was also no mystery for the monsters, they just show you straight away which takes away all the suspense.
One of the best examples on how to write a diverse cast without it being woke garbage. The guy from Iraq was by far my favorite character in the game.
Regardless of what the review is I'm just going to play it anyway.

Sorry but this is not an 8/10. It would be an 8/10 movie but as far as video games go; this experience was a lengthy cut scene. It’s a solid 6/10
What’s funny is that we actually accused Saddam but went for his archeology research and regretted it. Stargate, demons, controversial histories. Funny how that bit survived in public media.
Jason and Salim are the best
After saw Pazuzu Statue.. was this gotta linked with Exorcist Saga??🤔
"An ancient Sumerian tomb full of Monsters, like High school without the musical"
Really some uncanny valley stuff going on with Ashley Tisdale's model.
I'm thinking about getting this game but is there any actual game play for this game, it seems more like a movie
yeah, but the story itself makes up for ANY shortcoming this game might have! Absolutely stunning storyline!
Between bearing updates, scene variations, and in retrospect the best cast rivalled only by The Devil in Me’s characters so far. You don’t have to like Rachel, but Ashley Tisdale being in the game did not hold it back particularly. Characters were definitely an issue, especially the shoehorned plot armor towards the end between three characters out of the five.

what are you talking about? the characters in devil in me are cringey immature weak dumb kids.
The creatures are more like the ones from THE CAVE than the Descent.
I'm assuming your quip about a game set in the Iraq War is a pop-shot on Six Days in Fallujah.

Hmm interesting maybe they should give you more control during combat situation. Push it more towards The Order 1886 but also keeping everything else their games are known for.
