Eh? The second was better then the original. How can that be a decline? (Though I know what you're getting at.)

Indeed, the second game is still the staple of intelligent horror in gaming, nothing has surpassed it yet. The third game was pretty great too, but definitely more of an extension to the original game, but the fourth was awful - only the story managed to redeem it a little.
Origins was a decent attempt, but the combat was poor and the story took far too much from the film and should never be classed as canon due to the liberties it took with the existing story.
Homecoming is a definite return to form with rewarding combat, fantastic atmosphere, gritty visuals, a well-told story and some memorable characters.

What is it with you and non canon prequels

I absolutely ******* love Alex though. He's definitely one of the best protagonists of the series. And the combat is good when you get used to it enough to be able to kill monsters without losing loads of health.

I think Cosmo is being really unfair on the game.

They often block way and is always fast thus often eats away my health very quickly, strawberry floating bitches. May stick with knife for these bitches, as I had advantage with that on them.

Definitely use the knife on them, keep your distance and then move in quickly with repeated slashes, you'll pick 'em off easily that way.

the bit where you have to recover 3 postcards for someone so you can get Strange Key to open the door leading to kid, but on way you'd have to fight 3 nurses which I'm struggling at the moment because they're rather fast this time. If I just keep going on, I'll be on my way to first boss which is why I'm reloading "dump" save to re-try nurse section so I can get 2/3 health drinks for first boss.
