    This game has the worst tutorial ever designed for a game, PERIOD. You get to move for 3 seconds and then it gives you a tutorial/cutscene. You get to move for 3 seconds and then it gives you the next tutorial/cutscene. This goes on for 10-15 minutes.

Then you still have a bunch more garbage to click through and watch before you actually get to move your character freely around without getting interrupted by a tutorial or cutscene every 3 seconds. It's about 25 minutes of Hot Garbage before you get to play the game. It's so bad, I literally don't want to play this game anymore. Expand

    The setting and combat in Maiden of Black Water sets it apart from anything else in the genre, something just right for anyone looking for a break in tradition. However, certain aesthetic choices and movement issues prevents it from reaching higher levels of enjoyment.

    If you don’t mind a horror game that doles out its frights at a snail’s pace, then you’ll find plenty here to enjoy.

    Project Zero: Maiden of Black Water is a remaster that does a lot of things right, and which shows that the series still has the ability to deliver a good amount of frights. While the opportunity to implement a more functional control system was not taken and there are some technical performance issues, the overall effort is a work that's very satisfactory to explore, especially thanks to its high quality level design.
