The story and pacing are good and I'm pretty sure the game can look spectacular if you have the rig for it and are willing to use adaptive resolution.

Voice acting and direction is excellent, I played the game in English (UK) so I got the intended experience and I'd say I'm quite pleased with it.

Players who bring up Characters mostly praise it.
11 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
I loved the main character and his line deliveries and I did enjoy the supporting cast, there wasn't alot of relationship building for me to care about the end of the game which is saddening.
