The WhatsNext verdict

For Horror fans who want a grim prison, tight melee fights, and scarce supplies.: Dread builds in cramped corridors, and every dodge, parry, and ammo choice matters when enemies close in. Tradeoff: Scarce supplies and sudden swarms can make the pace feel punishing, especially when a fight goes wrong.
