It's beautiful game that has some serious annoying issues. Therefore only those who can forgive that should play it.

These are :

- When you are locked in animation Shadows can hit you. One hit = one health less. You already are limited on HP.
When you get overrun by shadows you die in seconds and often you cant help yourself even with Axe.

- You can't really hit Shadow until it comes out of "depths" of scene, which means that often you will fail to hit them but they will eventually get to your "depth" and hit you back. This is especially problem when they spawn from both of your sides.

- Some levels require sugrical precission and speed, otherwise you get killed and you have to restart checkpoint.

- There are some bugs in game too, but that's not as severe as annoyance of controls.

- For me it was also annoying to have mini game pause that lasts fraction of second each time you hit something with Axe.

Otherwise, it is beautiful art style and it looks amazing.
My time for completion was around 5.5 hours (which personally I think is not alot, considering that I had ~ 75% completion) Once you finish game you can replay any level and/or compete with others when it comes to score. You also get Nightmare Mode unlocked which is something like hardcore mode without save game.

It has other problems too but I didn't notice those that much. I didn't mind cutscenes, tho voice is a bit off IMO, or the story.

Conclusion :
It's good experience to "remember" but it's also shallow, buggy and annoying at times. I'm not sure that smoeone who doesn't like the setting or is annoyed by lacks of game would enjoy it. It depends on players I guess.
However I do recommend it because it's really interesting experience, put up with nice visuals and generally design (minus controls).
Hopefully one day we can see Deadlight 2 with all these issues fixed.
