    Beware! The fatal frame series is very very scary, so only play it if you are brave enough.

    An extraordinary horror game. If you like the genre, this game must be in your collection. The history is excellent and the game play is very good.

    The only issue is the graphics. It supposes that this game was optimized for X/S. It does not look like that.

    Overall, it's a treat to see this classic horror franchise finally make its way back onto modern systems, and i hope this bodes well for the future of Fatal Frame.    … Expand

    While I have a lot of issues with the core game I am happy to see the series return. I really want to see the original trilogy get an update it deserves. Would love to play those games again as they are genuinely some of the creepiest games I have ever played, and not for the wrong reasons. Maiden of Black Water just feels like something thrown together to gauge interest in the series return. I wanted to love it, I forced myself to finish it, but I just want the series to return to its roots.

    Project Zero: Maiden of Black Water is an old-fashioned horror title capable of delivering many thrills thanks to a well-written storyline, anxiety-inducing atmosphere and unique gameplay, provided, however, you can turn a blind eye to the problems related to controls, the little care taken in graphics improvements and the lack of localization for several western languages.

    Project Zero comes back to life with a lackluster remaster that brings no new features. On the other hand, it is always a good opportunity to dwell into its dark universe.
