While it trades the tight, interconnected geography of its predecessor for a vast, disjointed collection of haunting locales, the sense of discovery remains unmatched. It is a lonely, atmospheric slog that demands total focus, rewarding your persistence with an adrenaline-soaked rush of triumph that few other games can...
