The disparity in review scores says, to me, it is being evaluated differently—if I had to guess, the higher scores are mindful of its F2P status; the low scores are not. It makes me think of The Order: 1886 a bit; I thought it was pretty decent, but I also got it on sale. If I paid $60 for it, I think I’d be furious.
Anyway, for Short Message, I’ve yet to try it. Frankly not that interested and I simply haven’t trusted Konami in ages. But that said, I will give it go eventually and it’s free, so at worst it costs me a few hours of my life. I’ve wasted worse with bad friends/relationships, so a few hours isn’t going to hurt.
An update on Silent Hill f would be nice. Game has the potential to be absolutely horrifying.
