This took me a while to get through mainly because this game is so depressing. I do think this is a really good game. The characters are voiced well and, though they make annoying decisions from time to time, it makes sense with their age and all that they've been through. The story is very interesting and though I felt as if I knew where everything would eventually head, I was still engaged throughout.
The gameplay was alright. Amicia has more weapons in her arsenal besides just a sling. I think this game is best when your sneaking around guards than when your forced to use combat. These arena-like fights are the worst part for me. She's just very slow in firing, which makes sense in game, and they throw a decent amount of enemies at you. There's also a lot of different ammo types and I found myself accidentally using them when I didn't want to. I get it. It's a sequel so they wanted to add more stuff but I don't think they're its strong suits.
The game looks incredible. I loved the character models and the beautiful vistas you could see even through the damage. The soundtrack fits the tone very well too.
