wccftech

Unique dual-reality gameplay is something brand new in gaming medium
Two soundtracks from Akira Yamaoka and Arkadiusz Reikowski
Not one but three new Akira Yamaoka x Mary Elizabeth McGlynn tracks (and one duet with Troy Baker)
Goes beyond long-standing horror tropes
Multiple realities and perspectives to uncover the mysteries of Niwa Resort
Available day one on Xbox Game Pass

No combat, but the hide-and-sneak gameplay is rather unenjoyable
Existing in two worlds but never really living in either
All new McGlynn tracks are backloaded into the last 30 minutes of gameplay
Strange artifacting and glitchy character models when approaching close to a fixed camera transition
Facial animations look great; hair, fur and clothing not so much
Jittery camera movements amplified by the locked 30 FPS on Xbox Series X

GamingBolt

The Dual Reality mechanic is genius
Solid puzzles and engaging exploration
Very atmospheric, thanks to excellent music and strong art design
Looks great
Engaging storytelling
Semi-fixed camera angles are used to great effect.

Encounters with terrifying monsters are relegated to cutscenes
Complete lack of challenge dulls the horror
Too short
Bad ending
Sluggish and cumbersome movement serves no purpose.
