A decent enough retro survival horror for the fans of the PS2/PS3 era. Around the level of Hollowbody, not as good as Tormented Souls or Post Trauma. Pros: - The difficulty is just right, but the boss fights are more difficult than average. - The puzzles are quite decent. - The story is not bad, but the voice acting makes it cheesier than it's supposed to be. - The game never outstays its welcome. - It has an optional "retro" filter that makes the graphics pixelated and it actually looks better that way. Cons: - There's nothing memorable here. - The monster designs leave a lot to be desired. - Gen AI was used for a few pictures, and one of them looks horrendously out of place.3 found this helpful

Connection: The Nightmare Within is...surprisingly challenging. Maybe I'm just not that good at it, but I dunno...I play a lot of fixed camera survival horror and survival horror in general, and I found some segments of this game to be pretty damn tough. The game sets itself aside from many of its peers with the inclusion of a dodge roll. No, it doesn't really take away from the survival horror-ness of the experience, the enemies are quick and you'll be needing the dodge roll to evade attacks. There are a couple of combat arena sections that'll have you under high pressure to manage all the threats, so expect more reaction time/skill based action than you'd get in many fixed camera style games. Honestly, overall it was handled pretty well, but yeah, challenging for sure (with the exception of the last boss - that was not…2 found this helpful

NGL; I came fresh off from recording Tormented Souls 2 and slogging through that trash heap of a game, that this game, and it's charm and gameplay was a breath of fresh air, it was short, fun and I had a blast from start to finish and It didn't feel like a slog.2 found this helpful
