First of all, you should play this game as they tell you; adjust the gamma, grab a headset make it loud, turn off the lights and wait for nightfall => quickly start playing. I finished it in 2 nights, when dawn comes go to sleep :)

Ok so follow the advice above and you should be able to give at least an 8.5 to this game. I gave it 10 just because it's the best puzzle-horror - so that reason alone made me decide it is worthy of a 10.

This game is not about graphics as much as it's about environment and how the protagonist reacts to many things that happen to him, and what is really another plus to the game is that even when you get to know all you can about what's following you and what's this all about and be a tough guy you will still be able to experience the utter horror of this game.

I repeat follow my advice from the beginning of this review for that to happen.
