The voice acting was spot on as far as I'm concerned and I really like they kept the French speaking while including English subtitles for those of us who don't know French.

With brilliant visuals and a great storyline, the acting is solid too and the characters are intriguing.
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
6 of 106 sampled reviews raised it
The story is fairly short but well executed, and you experience the game's world through a combination of environmental storytelling, letters, conversations, and puzzles that are "just right" in difficulty (not too hard, not too easy).
