Conclusion:

Singing It has a very good setting, reminiscent of an old horror movie, and the tension and suspense are very well achieved. During the 6 chapters that make it up, we will always be on the verge of catharsis. We will have the feeling of being suspended on a very thin thread which separates us from the death and the madness. However, as we pick up the pace and point enemies and areas, the bull will seem much less threatening. We will also have the feeling of being in an excessively guided and linear game. This, however, does not tarnish the experience much because, arguably, the game is compliant and the the storyalthough being a cliché, is very well told. follow us on Twitter to stay up to date with all the news on Xbox.
