I think this is one of those games where less would have been more. This could have been great as either an extremely atmospheric walking simulator with an interesting, supernatural mystery at its core, or as a detective adventure with some light puzzles and collecting clues as the main gameplay elements. Instead, it wanted to be all of the above, plus they even threw in some fight sequences, which were absolutely unnecessary, if you ask me. Also, I believe the map is way too huge, and driving around in a constant blizzard, trying to find your way to the next location of interest is not very fun, trust me. I definitely would have preferred a more linear approach instead of this large, mostly empty open-world environment. I also didn’t like the fact that the village is more or less abandoned, I would have really enjoyed questioning some suspects. Graphics and sound were more or less OK, I guess, and, if you’re interested there are many collectibles to be found all around. But even with all this, I got bored quite fast.
