I don’t care that assets are reused. The gameplay changed and this is the first time a space ever felt lived in to me. But the crowning achievement of this game was showing you all the terrors in this doomed town and motivating you to help them out after seeing them fail over and over again. It became worn territory in other media but I never felt it as much as here. Failing the mask quest and dooming an NPC is a feeling of responsibility I’d never felt in gaming. I love this game.
