Previously Take

A 77 average that undersells it — ask the 194 people who rated it. Horror that commits — survival atmosphere, real dread, and scares that aren't cheap. No multiplayer, no problem — the campaign carries the whole thing. A 2005 original that still holds up — they don't make them like this anymore, literally.

About this game

With danger lurking around every corner, you’ll need whatever weapons you can find to stay alive. What twists the mind of an ordinary human into a serial killer? Assigned to the Serial Crimes Unit, Agent Ethan Thomas must answer this question, and bring the worst of society to justice. His solve rate is the best in the bureau....perhaps too good.
