    The game itself is a good, nice story and game-play, but the problem is the port itself, the frame rate is unstable, make the character animation very slow, moreover, the FBS was terrible, in general, the FBS only 12-15, and the mouse and keyboard are the worst experiences, u need to use a keyboard to control the camera make you uncomfortable. in conclusion, this game doesn't deserve yourThe game itself is a good, nice story and game-play, but the problem is the port itself, the frame rate is unstable, make the character animation very slow, moreover, the FBS was terrible, in general, the FBS only 12-15, and the mouse and keyboard are the worst experiences, u need to use a keyboard to control the camera make you uncomfortable. in conclusion, this game doesn't deserve your money, should buy it when the game is in the sale and have a controller.… Expand

    The arrival of Maiden of Black Water makes for a major addition to the PC horror games catalogue. The use of the camera in dealing with tortured spirits and the blend of fiction and folklore from Japan is delightful. The slow pace of the plot and repetition of areas, however, make Maiden of Black Water less scary and memorable than we would have liked.

    Although somewhat lacking on the horror front, PROJECT ZERO: Maiden of Black Water is a fun time with an interesting story and gorgeous graphics. The audio could use some improvement, but the pros far outweigh the cons.

    Unless you are a hardcore fan, existing players will not find much to gain from picking this up. This is a release for newcomers, which to be honest, there will be millions who would have missed this due to the platform it was originally released on. For those people, you can expect a creepy game that oozes atmosphere, but is hampered by cumbersome controls and poor pacing. A trade-off I personally feel is worth taking to experience Project Zero: Maiden of Black Water‘s bespoke approach to horror.
