    The gameplay in the latest installment has been described as a significant evolution, introducing a more complex anomaly reporting mechanic that enhances difficulty and engagement. While some players appreciate the fresh challenges and improved visuals, others find the changes off-putting, leading to mixed feelings about the overall experience. Overall, the game is praised for its refined mechanics and tension-building elements, making it a standout in the series for those who enjoy a more challenging gameplay experience.

    • “I feel like gameplay-wise, this is peak for the series, and if you find it too hard, then you deserve the failure after what you did to Timothy.”

    • “The gameplay has been perfected in this one, with probably the best visuals in the entire series.”

    • “There's multiple factors playing into this; for one, in addition to the click-and-hold reporting mechanic from the last game, you now have to choose the anomaly type it is, so you can't cheese the run by just clicking all around the screen.”
