    Although the original version from Wii U was good already, unfortunately, I have to say that the PS4 version is quite a poor port.It just runs at a higher resolution and frame-rate but still, there was no overall improvement in this version. You should buy this game **only** if you really want to play for the first time and don't have a Wii U at your hands. Otherwise, you can skip and saveAlthough the original version from Wii U was good already, unfortunately, I have to say that the PS4 version is quite a poor port.It just runs at a higher resolution and frame-rate but still, there was no overall improvement in this version.

    A worthy entry for fans of the series, this might very well win over some new ones. It’s a solid reminder of what makes Project Zero so unique and appealing. [Issue#8, p.85]

    The ABC of horror games is that they tend to be frightening, but Maiden of Black Water is not only true to that, but also fails to stand up to Fatal Frame name and delivers a simple, average experience on every level.

    Fatal Frame: Maiden of Black Water is clearly a game from another generation. There is a lot here that the series still does well, particularly when it comes to setting and story. However, years don't come alone, and the quality of this remastered, along with the game's control problems of controls, really make the experience less interesting.
