I was not really as excited about it, as I'm not as big fan of the horror genre (otherwise I like open world, Witcher 3 was favorite), but now thinking to purchase it, more for the support.
It's not as much of a horror game as you may have heard. I'm a long time fan of the stalker series and I'd describe it as more of a survival exploration first-person-shooter. There are some moments where it gets a little spooky though, like you may be in a dark area with enemies/monsters every once in a while. It's a horror game in largely the same way that fallout could be one, there's spooky stuff occasionally but at its core its exploration and survival with an FPS perspective.
It’s not a horror game, but it’s the scariest game I’ve ever played.
I wouldn't characterize it as a horror game at all, tbh. It's a first-person survival game in an eerie, hazardous, open world setting. There's nothing quite like it, but if you like open world games, it's worth checking out for sure.
