How can you guys even compare it to Bioshok and especially RE4 is beyond me.
Sure, it is one of the better survival horrors released lately but the story is completely uninteresting, cliche and poorly delivered while the gameplay feels like a poor man's RE4, with cluncky controls, average animations and mediocre enemy design. I'm not even talking about how painfully repetitive the game is, you basically do the exact same thing for 10 hours as the game's scale and scope is unchanged from begining to end.

Again, the game is enjoyable but far from amazing.

 

I think you and I played different games. I played an immersive thriller with the RE4 playstyle, yet it still managed to be scary and innovative. The only complaint I had were the bosses, which weren't very good, admittedly. I'm not saying it's as good as RE4, or Bioshock, but it's definitely the best game in the genre since RE4, and the most immersive since Bioshock. Easily a gem of this generation.

Add something equivelant to the excellent merc missions from RE4 as an endgame, and we'll talk about a 10/10.
