@JayJ That's absolutely backwards, to be honest. Japanese media consistently gets criticised and panned for ANY kind of sexual elements - this is clearly evidenced by the huge wave of censorship from Sony, only done for anime-style games.

When do Western games get criticised in the same way for their sexual elements? If anything, they get celebrated for it. Let's be real here.

In NO way am I defending creepy pedophilic elements in some anime-style media (it's true that it's still prevalent), but the term loli in this context is just being used to describe "young-looking girls" in a gothic lolita fashion style. The word is used differently in Japan and is more to do with the "doll-like" cutesy aesthetic (google it if you don't believe me).

There is nothing inherently sexual about the "loli" characters in this game. Obviously there are still other racy character designs, but for the little girl characters, I don't see it. They are there to be "cute". Anyway, you can read into the style more and draw your own conclusion, but criticising the writer of the article JUST for using that term in a review is a bit much.

I can't say the same about the term "trap" though, as that still seems inappropriate to me, given the negative conotations of trans people that are evoked by using it.

@Damo An Argos exclusive? Lol that's so bizzare, who even goes there anymore? No wonder it's not doing well sales-wise.

There's no physical version of this, right?

The main issue I had with the original was the re-spawning monsters and lack of save points. They annoyed me so much I never actually beat the game. Might get this one when it goes on sale.

Wait, Dementium Remastered is on the EU eShop?? Why had I not seen that before? Totally getting it as soon as it goes on sale. Shame about the lack of other stuff though.
