Game Award Winner 1 ° Quarter 2012 ...

Already on the Xbox title has me excited, unfortunately I do not have this but.
When I then Game on Steam, a few days ago, I discovered slammed - and was overwhelmed!

(Pro)
+ Great interactions with the very real bustling environment: people talk to each other and / or with Alan, asking to activate the Jukebox (which ends in Button Smashing) or share information with.
+ Excellent control with the Xbox controller.
+ Many items that want to be found (thermoses, pages, TV spots ...) - to play a nice ANREITZ that game again.
+ Very atmospheric music.
+ Incredible attention to detail: the entire area is designed in 3dimensional (even if from inside to outside, through a window looks) and a complete Mammutskellet in the entrance hall, the animated forest ... I could go on forever, everything is super realistic lovingly.
+ Frightening effects, when darkness comes. Music, effects and graphics are wonderful.
+ Großräuige Level. Sure, the stories and the processing is linear, however, you can sift through several minutes the environment.
+ Proof that there must be a surgery training video or a commercial for fake blood not always. The +16 Game has my hackles far more claims, than many a game (or movie) from +18 - very welcome thrill at the highest level. The King with S. says hello!
+ A truly gripping story. WHILE the gaming time stayed with me "The Witcher II", "Gran Turismo V," "Bulletstorm" and "Fallout NV" are simple;)
+ Fantastic light, fog and shadow effects.
+ You can finally fall off again! In most games you run "safe" along the edge without risk. Here goes the "elevator" sometimes down, which can be quite critical times just in the fight sequences.
+ Practical and frustration-free storage points, no Dead Counter in the statistics.
+ A super game time of 10-12 hours. (Without the special level).
+ Beautiful and highly detailed graphics which not all rausholt far from a highend card, let alone a tech demo. Still, she knows how to impress and is quite nice to look at.

(Neutral)
o now and invite to textures, which is not only unsightly, but can be annoying in some cases.
o mediocre Synchro. Every now and then quite unkind and even bored.
o you can not make up the flashlight. Especially at blind spots I had this already but the one time or another like spotted, just to be able to identify flashing items.
o little to no mystery.

(Contra)
- Impossible control with the keyboard!
- You can usually no longer back. A certain point is reached, you have to make the level again, if you forgot something.

- - - - - - - - - - -

(Conclusion)
A fantastic mix of Resident Evil, Sylent Hill and a King novel. Who really wants to leave a few hours having a good time (I recommend playing definitely at night, in a dark room!) And nothing against a bit scary has who gets here an absolute "delicacies" served -. Graphic, audio technology, story-wise, the gameplay - everything fits!

From my side an absolute buy recommendation!
