Beautifully crafted story that is complicated but still simplistic at its core and it had its hooks on me from beginning to the end. Also this game just oozes atmosphere and style. The visuals and the use of the music is just on another level here.

Funnily enough like other greats of the genre it's the combat that is easily the weakest aspect, especially when playing as Alan. These shadow blobs that either attack you or not are dull as enemies and fighting them is an lackluster experience. Weirdly enough this game also has one of the most memorable action set-piece I have ever seen but it does not change that generally the combat is forgettable.

I think in the future this will be looked back like other classics of the genre or at least as an cult classic.
