    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 takes over from P.T. and offers a title of psychological terror that will delight lovers of horror and the supernatural. One of the most chilling games in the history of video games.

    You could have put ‘Silent Hill’ at the front of the title and we would have called Visage a return to form. Ultimately, this is an exercise in stretching PT to a full house, which is almost entirely successful, with masterful scares and near constant tension.

    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.

    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.

    Visage is scary, but also commits too many mistakes. For that reason, it is far from the work it wants to emulate.

    Una verdadera experiencia de terror. Donde se ahonda en un tema muy complejo con mucha valentía y dando como resultado una obra atemporal.

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.… Expand

    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

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. There are so many better games in this genre so you can easily avoid this one.… Expand
