Story Feedback
so it's not really a "negative" minus in that sense. it just might put some more action-loving people off
Makes sense. I'm a sucker for atmosphere, though, so I guess I can personally bump it up a few points.
I don't know... I've never heard of a positive minus before. j/k
Awesome, I love when games are streamlined like this (take note Valve, with all the development time Episode 3 has had I'm hoping for no more mid-level load screens).
"+ high quality (german) localization"
This is actually expected because the company that made the game is Austrian.
"+ tight atmosphere"
Good, atmosphere is really important in survival-horror. The atmosphere is definitly there because I can feel it in the videos.
"- "slow" pacing, sluggish controls"
From what I read above, the slow pacing is actually a positive and a negative. Sluggish controls is a complaint I've heard about in some previews. As long as the controls still work for the most part, I'll try to not let it bother me.
that's not the only negative thing they can think of. that's the overall + / - list. they devoted a section to each game where they critized them individually.

the german localization could still suck a lot if they had gotten bad voice actors
