Above average aesthetic, middling soundtrack, generic unlikeable protagonist who moves like he's soiled himself, fairly satisfactory stealth and puzzle solving, hideous combat, superb narrative mechanic.

Whilst playing, I felt that I was enjoying it more than Cyberpunk 2077. It was refreshing to do away with the clunk and grind and just trot along behind the narrative. I didn't need to loot bodies and find secrets or even to have branching paths. I just wanted to walk around this narrative and let the story unfurl around me. Then the combat hit and I gave up. It's a shame as I thought perhaps the developer had really considered the game holistically from the grand plan to the minutiae rather then building a game from elements.
