visually awesome but the gameplay just wasn't that fun or rewarding

So, yea, I beat Haunting Ground. That game had stellar visuals, art, direction and level design. It was an experience that I'll not soon forget. That being said, many aspects of the gameplay were terrible. There was waaaaaay too much backtracking in this game. and you are thinking " oh..so what" no... you don't understand. I mean back tracking to the max. being chased constantly doesnt add to the frightening experience.. it makes gameplay completely annoying because you can't enjoy the scenery. Imagine playing a game and every 5 minutes having to stop and run away from your destination for like 5 minutes (if you are lucky enough to find a hiding spot). Yay i found a new area to explore...oh no I cant cause im being chased.
