Going to start off by saying NO SPOILERS *Safe review*

Where do I even begin? This game is a first person, mystery, "walking simulator." I do not like that term however, as it seems like so much more once you get into it, at least it did for me.

As far as character developement goes, the developers did a fantastic job of creating enough back story and information to invest yourself into the main character, his motives, and the supporting cast. Rarely do I find myself playing a game, with the mindset of actually being the character I play. This game in my opinion gets a 5/5 for this category.

Musical score is up next, and it does well. Not the best, but it's up there. Music matches well to your mood and the story. I feared going into this game that you would have the typical "spoiler music" that gives away upcomming events, but I was happily disappointed. The music just seems to flow with the story. In my opinion 4/5.

Visuals, are always important for me. This game did not dissapoint. The graphics are wonderful on the eyes, and have a depth in places you would not expect. During your time, make a point to look up into the night sky whenever the oportunity presents itself and you will see what I mean, 5/5.

User interface, is one of the rough areas for me with this game. Sometimes you will find yourself finding just the right angle to interact with something, which can become frustraiting. It is also very hard to use gear sometimes, but that might have been due to the fact that I ran through almost the entire game with the keyboard mapping in the options menu, but was in fact using a controller. You can change the on-screen cues for interactions however by adjusting the settings in the options menu. For this I give it a 3/5.

Plot, was freaking amazing!!! (In my opinion.) It kept me going until the very end, and kept me really thinking about my every decision. Looking back I don't feel as I would have played it any other way, but it still keeps me wondering "what if I did this." I give it a 5/5.

Last but not least as this is a "mystery game" I would include thrill/suspense in my categories, and boy does this game deliver. I didn't figure this cookie out until almost the end, and that might be my way of thinking or the fact that I completely fogot about the fact that this was a mystery game while playing it. Definately a 5/5 for me.

Overall this game did not dissapoint. I question it's replay value, as at the time of this writing I have only gone through it once. I might go back and do things differently to see if it affects any outcomes, but for now I am simply enjoying the game for what it just gave me.

Great game with indepth systems. Great replay value. Great to play as co-op with friends, or to meet new friends. Almost daily updates by the dev. I definately recommend!
