Wow. Just wow. Hard to articulate my thoughts after playing through something like this, twice (at time of review), might I add.

(Disclaimer: I’m not good at writing reviews, there are plenty other reviews who do a much better job at explaining than me so read those as well)

From first play through, start to finish, I’d say the average completion time is around 10-11 hours. That’s what I got on my first play though (I didn’t read every single book and I’m sure I missed some stuff etc) and slightly longer time on my second playthrough. I know a fair amount of people like to run on the 1 hour = £$€ 1 mindset etc and I got this for £26.99 (see hours played at time of review above) and I plan to go through another playthrough soon (because of how many different choices you can make) so value for money is there 100%.

I really rate the story, the whole, robots working for us side of things was cool to watch unfold and how your direct decisions can affect the entire outcome of the situation. I’d like to go into more but if you are interested (and you like premise of robots / technology) your better off buying and becoming immersed in the world yourself, I personally don’t think your regret it.

The soundtrack compliments this game so well, from the dialogue scenes to the action scenes, it does such good of encapsulating the moment. I personally like Connor’s theme as it fits his character and has a sense of urgency. At time of review, I am currently listening to the OST on YouTube because I genuinely like this music.

This was a pretty decent port all things considered; I always get rather worried when I hear companies do ports of games on console etc, but it worked well. I must say, the graphics looked amazing and I was rather impressed with how they really added so much detail to a scene which further helped with immersion.

No frame rate issues on the 60fps option (I have a pretty decent spec PC) and very minor graphical hitches (faces and textures rarely not rendering in HD(?) and therefore sometimes looking a little bare and muddy etc) but that in no way affected my gameplay or immersion (and was fixable by restarting the game). My only complaint with the port (if you can even call it a complain it’s so minor and it could even be intentional) was that I’m guessing FX(?) like sparks and snow were (by the looks of it) locked at 30fps but it’s hardly a problem, just would have been nice to have everything running at the same fps. So, all in all hats off, this was a great port.

This was an amazing world and story that Quantic Dream and the writers David Cage and Adam Williams developed, and I really *really* hope to see something like this again soon.

10/10
