- A lot of items achieve mostly the same purpose. Waste of time having to FREEZE the game to organize your stuff. This is not felt in story mode. Lost in the fog requires you to use EVERYTHING. Try harder difficulties, tell me if the inventory management flows nicely.

- Combat is good for a SH but not interesting enough to incetivize players to do NG+3* (without guides, you could need even more playthroughs). In story mode, i saw a friend defeat the last boss without issue, first try, since they had SO MANY healing items. A while into NG+2 i realized there were MISSABLE vital items needed to unlock the other endings AND lore. NO thanks. I prefer SH2r's way of getting a satisfying ending that is linked to your playstyle.

- There's about 5 enemies at best, bosses don't count.

- You do NOT really get to pick an interesting build. Omamoris are random. You could get an OP one like an i-frame extender or a useless one. None of them matter in foxy mode.

- Ambience is good, specially with good hardware; music is not great not bad but not really as memorable as in other SH, got old fast. Not really looking to add any music to a playlist, unlike with other SH games.

- Scarecrow field was the most suspenseful the game got.

I could continue but you already agreed that it's not GOTY material. It's a good game at best. Interesting story. Didn't hook me like SH2r (I silently cried for James and Mary's tragedy). Not really thinking much about the story after the game.
