gonna be blunt - it plays like a shytty max payne with party ability spam and a dmc style meter its genuinely booty juice imo and could never stand by itself but its pretty so its gonna get a pass because its not a combat driven game really. more narrative pushed games should take notice on that though fr.
it doesn't take a lot to elevate a telltate/LIS/House of Ashes/Detroit type of game from niche to more accessible with just going the extra mile on gameplay
oh wow…I bought it and have it downloading before I read this lol
