Gameplay: For a 2018 game, this was alright, but it always left me wanting more that this game was not able to deliver.

To this day the game still has some issues, I suggest looking up a guide on Reddit or other sources to get the best optimization and graphics settings to fully enjoy the game.

To be clear there are sections of the main story I enjoyed, sections with genuinely rewarding emotional payoffs, genuinely impressive motion capture helping sell tragedy in some moments, and some great voice acting by Kassandra's voice actor.
