The problem I have with Siren is that it's sooooooo sloooooooooow. It's really misleading for people to call this a survival horror, considering how little you actually engage in combat in this game (well, you can engage in combat, but don't expect not to get your ass kicked). It's more of a stealth game than anything else; the vast majority of the game is spent observing enemy patterns and hiding and waiting around for an opening in their pattern to advance a few feet, wait around again, and repeat ad nauseum. Which, I like stealth games, don't get me wrong, but it seems like it'd take a good five to six minutes just to find a single opening in an enemy's pattern. I don't have the patience to spend almost half an hour in a level that would take a good three minutes to get through if the enemies weren't nearly invincible. I'm probably oversimplifying things, but this game alienated me the first time I played it because of how boring it is.
