Fatal Frame 5 - Prologue and First Drop (first playthrough - no commentary - review in description)
Fatal Frame 5
Steam version
Prologue and First Drop
00:00 – Prologue
08:32 – First Drop
37:43 – Menu and some costumes
My first playthrough of Fatal Frame 5.
Spoiler-free retrospective review (check last video in playthrough for spoiler review)
Pros
+ Good character and ghost designs
+ Tense atmosphere
+ Good mix of outdoor and indoor areas
+ Fun camera gameplay. I actually liked rotating the camera to adjust shots although I'm sure it was annoying on the Wii U
+ Fatal glances were a good addition to see exactly how people died
+ Each playable character felt different enough
Cons
- Too much backtracking (even moreso than other Fatal Frame games)
- Some questionable story choices and concepts
- Controls were a bit clunky and I miss the 180 degree quick turn
- More action-oriented gameplay (especially in 2 specific chapters) is less scary
Overall, I enjoyed the game and would give it a 7/10. Fatal Frame games are consistently good.
My series ranking from best to worst: 3 - 4 = 2 - 1 - 5
Definitely check out the other games if you enjoyed this one.
1, 2, and 3 are available on PSN
4 is officially coming to Steam on March 8th, 2023
