I’m not sure if the screenshot fully conveys what I’m talking about here, so do have a look at theGameranx videowhere I found the footage. And, yes, I admit this is a strange thing to get excited about, but I’m genuinely happy to see such imperfect, yellowing (even if it’s partially the flashlight) teeth in a game. It’s the sort of realistic touch that feels incredibly minor until you realise just how few games actually do it. Like, I say ‘dodgy’, but they’re not even dodgy, really. They’re just a normal bloke’s normal, imperfect teeth.
