The gaming community misses the dark and gritty feel of the first few games in the franchise and hopes to see the same atmosphere return in the latest entry. Perhaps the key to the success of the video game series is pure nostalgia.

Fans believe the sequel should feature the same dark and gritty environment and atmosphere as the original games.

It is a wise move to reflect and see which concepts have resonated well with the gaming community and use them to the advantage of the successor. Coalition Studio has a fair few games in the franchise and should look back and take some ideas and bring them back. The dark and gritty environment has appealed to the fans because it fits the franchise and the tone of it, the survival-horror aspect amplified the playing experience even more.
