Final verdict: the first part of the game "solid 7/10" (music, story, visuals, gameplay.. They were good for me), the second "4,5/10" at best.

The music is from what i remember, made by the same person who made the Dark Souls soundtrack, so im sure you can already make out how fantastic the soundtrack is just from that alone.
