Much better than Man of Medan, let's start with that. The atmosphere is felt since the characters get to Little Hope, and the mystery keeps you going for the entire game (which is not that long, 4 to 5 hours in a single run. Obviously more if you want 100%).
The characters, while not all likeable, do change during your game, and are well acted enough.
Without spoilers, people seem to have a problem with the ending. The game has multiple endings, as all Supermassive games have, but the difference is, when you get to 100% you unlock more information, which in turns gives a new take on the endings. It's really interesting and I think it might help people that apparently hate the ending. I didn't hate any of the endings though.
A much needed return to form for Supermassive, but I think it's time they start to innovate with the gameplay mechanics, so far we've seen very little innovation between Until Dawn / Man of Medan / Little Hope. Changing the story is good, but we need a different combination of gameplay and some changes. Still onboard for the Dark Pictures Anthology and I hope they'll continue getting better.
