After spending the first half hour getting used to the slightly odd controls, I found a game with a masterful sense of design, one that understood just how important setpieces are to creating a thrilling experience, and offered some of the best combat I've ever seen in a survival horror title. Still, knowing just how widely despised the game was kept shoehorning itself in at the edge of my consciousness, as I played I wondered what other people had seen that I hadn't.

I never read video game reviews before playing a game.
