Project Zero Maiden of Black Water suffers from the problems derived from an adaptation that has forced the elimination of the characteristics that made it unique, but, despite this, any lover of classic-flavored horror has a winning bet here.

Project Zero Maiden of Black Water is a game infused with a scary, uncomfortable atmosphere that you will love as a fan of Japanese horror films. The story may not be gripping. But the atmosphere, the long playing time and the unique gameplay with the Wii U gamepad make the game at least worth a try. Still, the outdated design holds back maiden of Black Water from being an essential Wii U game.

Unfortunately, Fatal Frame: Maiden of Black Water wasn’t perfect when it released on Nintendo Wii U, nor is does the remaster fix everything. While the flaws hold it back, the game succeeds by providing the horrific and eerie atmosphere that the franchise is known for. There is a lot that fans will appreciate, it’s newcomers who might not care for the dated approach. However, whether you’re a fan or newcomer, if you give Fatal Frame: Maiden of Black Water a fair chance, you’ll likely not be disappointed.
Fatal Frame: Maiden of Black Water might be one of the weaker entries in the franchise, with flaws that can be really hard to ignore. The awkward controls, repetitive mission structure, and lack of variety somewhat bring down an otherwise engaging experience. However, if you can overlook these issues, give it a shot. The concept of Fatal Frame is still incredibly fresh in the genre, with its more restrained approach to horror and unique mechanics.
Six years after the release of the original for Wiiu, we have this remastering of Project Zero: Maiden of Black Water. The high definition graphics suit you very well, and the game give us lots of fun to thanks to the use and functions of the Dualsense controller.

While this remaster has its share of Kodak moments, unfortunately, the negatives are simply too much to ignore. With Fatal Frame: Maiden of Black Water’s disposable cast of characters and underdeveloped episodes that start to blur together like like an old Polaroid, survival horror fans are better off turning their focus elsewhere to get their fix this Halloween.
Technical issues aside, Koei Tecmo and Nintendo offer one of the purest horror titles in years.
Fatal Frame: Maiden of Black Water versagt leider auf der kompletten Linie und bietet außer Fanservice in Form von Dead or Alive Ladies und knappen Outfits wenig. Die Steuerung auf dem Wii U Pad wurde schwach umgesetzt und auch die Geschichte bietet wenig neues für Horror Fans. Falls ihr aktuell auf der Suche nach einem neuen Wii U Titel seid, macht lieber einen großen Bogen um Fatal Frame.
