The game is awesome, but the sanity meeter is flawed in that it was too easy to maintain it.

I've beaten the game without using sanity recovering magic and you almost never run out of sanity. I intentially drop myself to 0, and then play through and on occasion it rises up due to me killing zombies, but then I'll let it drop back down to 0.

Well hitting rock bottom is more of a distraction than anything else. It's the subtler stuff that will really mess with you.

I can't say I've seen the DRE except when at rock bottom, and that got me a few inches from turning off my system. My system did have DREs, so I believed it

In the end, if you haven't experienced any of the game, 2 playthroughs with 2 different goals for the sanity effects is always entertaining. So you can run through with it full most the time dropping on occasion, or you can run through with 0 all the time with it filling on occasion.
