    I like the story, full of twists and emotion! It's hard to describe, but if you read notes and understand the back story of it, you may find it's a very touching story covered by a thrilling surface.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. It’s a survival-horror game in the way that survival-horror games haven’t been in years. Ghost hunting in open areas inspire exploration, which is rewarded with ammunition (in the form of film) and other consumables, which have to be hoarded efficiently enough to drown the final boss with enough ammo… Expand

    "Project Zero: Maiden of Black Water definitely has its faults, particularly with its lack of characterisation and some questionable design choices; however, these are only a small dampener on what is otherwise a unique and atmospheric horror game. Hopefully the remaster of the prior game will prove to be just as enjoyable as the series’ fifth entry!""Project Zero: Maiden of Black Water definitely has its faults, particularly with its lack of characterisation and some questionable design choices; however, these are only a small dampener on what is otherwise a unique and atmospheric horror game.

    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.
