It´s a japanese horror game, after all. No one should expect it to get good reviews from some closed-minded western reviewers.
As for now, there´s a big discrepancy on scores (8,5 - 4,0). Games like that tend to be very divisive in our videogame press.
Anyway, I´m still interested.

Silent Hill 2 and 3 got some extremely good reviews.  Fatal Frame 2 and 3 did a hell of a lot better than this.  Siren: Blood Curse did fairly well too.

I'd say western reviewers are alright with Japanese horror games.

Well, that was during the time Survival Horror were Survival Horror. Now they are supposed to be TPS with zombies and jumpscare.

Exactly. Western reviewers are more positive about action games with "horror" thematics than actual horror/survival games, which tend to be more focused on exploration than action. At least this is what I fell when reading certain reviews.

The range of the reviews shows a lot of discrepancy on reviewers´ perception of the game. It seems that no one is right in saying that the game is good or bad, it seems more a matter of taste than technical production (although there´s a current issue with the movement controls in many reviews)
