It is chilling without being cheesy. Horrifying without being overt. Disturbing without being grotesque. I absolutely cannot wait to return to the Blackwood Sanatorium and make all the (right? wrong?) decisions this time around. The Inpatient is easily the most rewarding horror adventure to be had on the PSVR to date.
A short but enjoyable horror experience, enriched by the Until Dawn-esque “Butterfly Effect” feature.

This game is not for people who like jump scares or dumb slasher flicks like Until Dawn was. This takes a more mature approach to horror so its not going to be or everyone. This game is a slow burn and about the decay of a human mind. This is probably the best looking title for playstation VR right now. Like i said it isn't for everyone if you love your kiddy jump scares this game isn't for you. If your looking for more Until Dawn look else where and if your a mature adult who enjoys a good story with a slow burn into crazy then sit back and enjoy.

This game is another victim of the recent illness, that’s plaguing so called “professional reviewers” lately. The unability to judge a game by its own merits instead of comparing it to other, different games. Just like amazing GT Sport was judged as something it never wanted to be, this game should not be compared to Until Dawn, even though it serves as a kind of a prequel which lets you experience the events in the sanatorium from a unique perspective.
It might not be for everyone and 40,- might be a tenner too much for some, but there is replay-ability and I’d definitely recommend the game to anyone.

I couldn't help but wish it was more, well, exciting. It's a technical marvel, but at times the experience feels hollow and uneventful. In the end, even though I'm glad to return to this universe, The Inpatient comes across as a bit of a missed opportunity.
The Inpatient is very impressive at a few moments. Virtual reality, the sound effects and the voice controls make for an intense atmosphere, but the story feels a bit shattered.
The Inpatient is a psychological horror that, while technically above standard, is devoid of anything noteworthy.
Despite some visual qualities, an elaborate atmosphere and some good jump-scares, The Inpatient is too short and ultimately disappointing in terms of gameplay and story.
The Inpatient is one of the most disappointing games ever made. Even when detached from the excellent Until Dawn, on its own it's a shallow walking sim with glossy production values. This might be okay for a one and done play-through, if acquired for free, and even then it is hard to justify the cost of the time spent playing this husk of a game. This is at best a glorified and expensive demo reel for talented 3D artists and VR programmers - not really a game worth playing at all.
The Inpatient is an immersive and dynamic experience. A must play, especially for the PSVR! Great story and visuals, impactful decisions, and lots of twists and turns.

Curiosa precuela de Until Dawn que basa su fuerte en una buena recreación atmosférica gracias a las PS VR. Hila bien con los hechos de su secuela y presenta buenas opciones de conversación, flashbacks interesantes y buen desarrollo con algún sustito por ahí o algún momento de tensión donde no hay que moverse, hace un buen uso de las gafas el mando y el sonido 3D, sin embargo, todo se ve un poco empañado por una duración muy corta, pocas opciones de exploración y un elenco de personajes totalmente olvidable. Como curiosidad y precuela está bastante bien, y mejor si se juega acompañado ya que te pueden meter algún susto que no te esperas en general, una experiencia de realidad virtual correcta y entretenida.

Solo da miedo los primeros 10 min. El resto se resume en caminar sin que nada suceda. Le salva de la quema la posibilidad de ver distintos finales según nuestras decisiones. La detección de los move es un desastre, cuesta horrores abrir puertas o coger objetos. Los brazos se mueven como si el personaje tuviera parálisis cerebral.

I’m not opposed to heavy-narrative-focused games, walking simulators, or any other name you want to throw at them. I like the good ones though and this isn’t one of them.
Ps: Jump scares in VR should be illegal.

Игра не о чем. Рейтинг явно завышен, проходится быстро, сюжета по факту нет. Мы оказываемся в больнице, мы не знаем кто мы, мы пытаемся выбраться из больницы, мы узнаем в финальных титрах кто мы, конец, 3-4 часа и игра пройдена. Однозначно второсортная игра, 4/10
