I loved the game for its atmosphere, clever puzzles and wonderful use of its physics engine.
However i truly hated it for its combat system. Combat goes one of two ways for me. Either i hit an enemy and it just stays on the floor while i whomp it continually, or it it happens to have noticed me at any point i flail wildly as i try and rotate to it as it uses a cunning tactic that i have little way to counter. It walks around me. I am a relativly good gamer, ive played lots of first person games and none have ever made me as angry as this one game. Dying over and over when you find a single dog that you know is there and know exactly where it comes from does not in any way maintain suspense or a feeling of enjoyment.
