    Come on guys, this is not a horror survival game like RE7, they are not in the same genre. It's not fair to compare this title to other big titles like REs, If you see this DYING game as a pure puzzle game with a creepy vibe, I think you will find this game done its job well. Although this game doesn't do anything that impresses me, but it is a okay game after all.

    It’s not super scary, but is pretty atmospheric, but it’s really more of a room escape puzzle game with a horror theme than a horror game, so I was OK with not being scared… but I was glad they didn’t resort to lots of cheap jump scares and stuff to just try and make it scary for no reason.

    Best Game on Earth IMO...Those who hate this game are a disgrace to humanity. It's an incredible horror experience....Better than trash like Resident Evil 7, Outlast 2 BS...

    With its bleak atmosphere and intriguing story, Dying: Reborn is an acceptable effort, bringing the escape room experience to consoles in an interesting, if often disturbing fashion. The PSVR version, while a little more viscerally effective, just doesn’t feel like a complete experience to recommend. Add in some weird glitches that make examining items in VR exceedingly difficult, and the result is the opposite of Resident Evil 7 – this is a VR-enabled game that’s much more satisfying when played on a standard television.

    Not buying this would be the ultimate lucky escape. [May 2017, p.92]

    Perhaps the only good thing that can be said about Dying: Reborn is that you can easily get a Platinum trophy from it, provided you only backtrack after finishing the game. It's faster if you use a guide for the more obtuse puzzles, but the whole endeavor takes only a few hours to accomplish. If you aren't into Trophy hunting, however, there's nothing of value in this title. Poor puzzles that repeat often, dodgy presentation with worse audio, and a story with too many plot holes are all wrapped up in a price tag that's too expensive for what you're getting. On a system that already has plenty of good horror games, there should be no reason for anyone to pick up Dying: Reborn.
