+Beautiful and varied locations
+Fun concept with the "censored" story that you need to hack through, and I enjoyed the story overall.
+Despite not being the most interesting character, I really like the representation that Aveline brings.
+A small game that doesn't have one million side things. There are collectibles and side missions, but they felt more optional than the other games, which I find refreshing
+Persona system is interesting, even though it isn't implemented in the best way.

-No fast travel within locations. Even though both New Orleans and the bayou are fairly small, it would have helped the game flow at bit better at times.
-Some (a lot of?) people will find the "smallness" I mentioned as being refreshing to be a deterrent.

Overall I was pleasantly surprised by this one. I have barely heard anything about it, and while I hesitate to call it a hidden gem, it is definitely a hidden... piece of precious metal? Yeah.
