Best thing this game has going for it is extremely obvious: its style and art direction. It really is gorgeous, and has plenty more visual tricks up its sleeves than just the hand-drawn textures. Outside of that, it's basically a walking sim with light survival horror elements. Honestly, the combat did not do much for me, at least until one sequence towards the climax. Melee in particular felt super unresponsive, and it was always difficult to tell if an attack was actually going to hit or not. Regardless, this one's worth a look almost for the style alone. Story's quite good, too. Just drop the encounter difficulty to easy and it'll remove a lot of tedium.
