Dream Cycle

Add that to a delightfully warm, Irish-voiced and cheekily sarcastic main character (voiced, I believe, by upcoming superstar Thaddea Graham), some decent combat against a well-realised cast of enemies and bosses, some lively spell-casting, a perk stat-buff system and some neat weapons and you've got all the building blocks you need for an amazing adventure.

The feeling of exploring broken, dream-like spaces filled with magic and horror is brilliantly realised.

Some might complain of the graphics quality but I kind of dig it, therefore my "nostalgia" comment above.

The traversal /movement abilities of the main character, Morgan Carter, are sublime; running, levitating and shadow-form-ing [Dishonoured's Blink by another name] around the levels makes developer Toby Gard's first creation, Lara Croft, look like an arthritic old crone.

The voice acting itself is pretty good but you will hear mostly Morgan talking and repeating the same lines over and over.

The game feels vast and the movement fluid and I'm finding the difficulty to be just hard enough and require skill without being completely absurd and leaving me feel like the advantage is not in my favor.
