    About 4 hrs in and couldn't bring myself to finish it. Long, repetitive, drawn out scenes, with recycled map layout. I literally might have got out of the same hospital bed 5 times! If you've seen the story once, you've seen it a thousand times. Jump scares where present here with some tension but it's so few and far between that I can't drag myself through the muddy story to get to it.

    I wouldn't doubt that the game is pretty terrifying. Visuals are impressive. And there are some story beats to appreciate. The game's problem is its direction. I don't have too much of a problem slowly walking around a spooky house and clicking light switches and finding keys and all that usual stuff you find in indie horrors. Running away from creepy dudes is always tense, but why am II wouldn't doubt that the game is pretty terrifying. Visuals are impressive. And there are some story beats to appreciate.

Running away from creepy dudes is always tense, but why am I here? Where am i running to? What is the point if I don't have any context for any of this stuff? Just give me at least a little bit of context before you make me walk through this same corridor for the fifth time!

    I think the developers built a series of spooky environments, some spooky looking enemies, made everything real dark and spooky-like...then they figured out what the rest of the game was meant to be about. Well...I need more of a purpose to s*** my pants.    … Expand

    One of the worst games I played for a long time. It's slow but slow as you can't imagine in your most terrific nightmares. Sure, it's a horror but not in the good way. The gameplay is a masterpiece of garbage, slow again and not well made. It's like driving a tank in the darkness. Darkness are useful here because they hide the ugliness of the graphics.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. It would be a good game if it was release years ago, because the graphics it is one of the worses of this last generation. I would advise to watch the walthrought in the Internet. Also the puzzles doesn't make any sense sometimes.My advise is to wait for a reduction in PSN. It is not a well - finished game.… Expand

    Mildly creepy, atrocious controls, bare bones linear repetitive game play paired with getting RKO'd out of nowhere. Gave up after 3 hours, it's a waste of time with so many other and better games these days, even in the genre.

    Although quirky, Visage is a thrill to play as the random events can change your experience with the game each playthrough, but playing it more than once will remove most of the thrill by knowing the jump scares and harder puzzles. I hope SadSquare studio continues to add to this title, as it can benefit from it, and it deserves to be played by the horror genre fans. I managed to solve all puzzles and earn all 27 achievements for 1,000 gamerscore in Visage in roughly 12-15 hours.

    A terrifying and unnerving experience to play, Visage pays tribute to those that came before it spectacularly. A few minor issues won’t spoil the fun, but you won’t help but notice them as you uncover the truth. You have been warned.

    Visage is a survival horror that tries in every way to shake off that walking simulator aura that is so easy to put on it. On the one hand it succeeds in its intent, thanks especially to the proposed puzzles and the remarkable longevity. However, much of the experience is still tied to a limited script and the freedom of movement within the house is only apparent. The obsessive bactracking and the very slow pace of the action end up limiting the ambitions of the game, which remains - in any case - a raw and terrifying experience. Visage represents a considerable step forward compared to the usual horror rides proposed by the competition, but not enough to approach the classics it is inspired by.
