I am so torn on The Betrayer because it is difficult to score a game that just didn’t fit the type of game I would enjoy. I went into The Betrayer thinking it was one game, but found out quickly that it wasn’t quite what I expected. I feel as if marketing this game as from the team that brought you F.E.A.R. is going to rub people the wrong way when they start playing.

"Betrayer is not a game that you would expect from the people who helped to create the F.E.A.R. series, but it does just enough right to make you think that they could be on the right path. Perhaps, with a little more refinement to its core systems, a sequel to Betrayer could be something rather special. As it is though, Betrayer is a gorgeous game with plenty of atmosphere – but also a lot of frustration."
The art style is really cool.
