Blade Runner meets I Have No Mouth And I Must Scream
Pros:
-Amazing, engrossing story.
-Logical puzzles offer some challenge, but med difficulty keeps the action going.
-Top notch voice acting.
-Amazing art direction, an entire world is created even with limited locations.
-Gun battles expand what is expected of an action game. The ability to die ups the stakes.
-The ability to tap the screen to see active objects saves you from the old Action game trope of trying to pick up everything.
Cons:
-Having to open doors repeatedly with a keycard or optical scan became tiresome. We get it. Make it automatic after the first instance.
-Hyper linear. For a story with many potential twists and turns, it was a little disappointing not to find multiple endings. Dialogue would hint at different possible outcomes without delivering.
-Occasionally when another character is accompanying you they can trap you in a corner and you cant get out. Save your progress often so this doesnt happen.
Overall:
Amazing game that should be the beginning of a franchise. Play it. Great for Adventure Game addicts and newbies alike.
