Cursed Mountain is perfectly enjoyable if you're willing to forgive its gameplay flaws, as the presentation of the game is generally solid and the concept is interesting and different, but if you're a fan of gameplay over all else, it might not be worth your interest. The story is engaging and generally well written, the visuals are solid and mostly engaging, and the audio is generally fitting and well designed across the board. The gameplay is simple enough to learn and understand, and when it works, it generally suits the game and its concept reasonably well, and survival horror fans should find some fun in the game.
However, the gameplay mechanics aren't especially polished, combat is clunky at times, and fighting ghosts can become boring and frustrating the further you go into the game.There's also not a lot of variety to the experience, in the enemies or the combat, and once you've beaten the game there's no reason to come back to it. Cursed Mountain is generally a worthwhile investment as a rental or a budget price acquisition, but as a full priced game, unless you love artistic style above all else or you a big survival horror game fan, it might not be worth the investment.

There’s a polar vortex sweeping across the country, The Day After Tomorrow style, and unless you’re brave enough to risk instantly freezing as soon as you step outside — like those poor helicopter pilots, they will be missed — the only escape is through video games. Or Dennis Quaid. Since we’re in for a deep freeze, with most of the country already enduring ridiculously low temperatures, I thought I’d come up with a list of horror games we can all enjoy.
"the only escape is through video games. Or Dennis Quaid" lol
I haven't played Dead Space 3, I thought about renting it, but I didn't like DS2 very much, absolutely LOVED DS1, i've heard many times DS3 is even worser sequel

The scariest night of the year is now only two days away, a horrifying evening when strange children knock at the door and refuse to leave without a toll of sweets and candy. It's also the time of year when we willingly scare ourselves witless by playing frightening video games.
