Story and characters

Story: 8/10- Amazing attachment during the game and unfortunately the last chapter was a gut punch, can't say I'm surprised by it.

Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
I must say I am not a huge fan of a female protagonist, but this one kept me going for sure and I really enjoyed this game because the gameplay and stealth are similar to that of The Last of Us, BUT more complex.
