Finished! Playing as Alan Wake is kind of annoying but the highs of this are so damn high. Satisfyingly pulpy and always ambitious and interesting. Great video game.

Just a great time playing as Saga. Some really cool stuff going on, just love the environments. Viva Coffee World.

Very cool but also irritating to play in extended gameplay segments. Directionless and a tad clunky when it works better in scripted sequences — or one’s just focused on storytelling and weird stuff.

Consistently very impressive, if not always spectacular in the gamey-er sections. Doing some bold, creative and just awesome stuff.

This is awesome. Played through the first chapter. Just the kind of ambitious, playful, creative thing that you so rarely see at this scale and with this polish.
The very start is really striking, then is just a pretty corridor but it leads up to an all timer of a title card.
From then on, just brilliant. Takes its time while always being interesting. Evidence board is all on rails, yes, but what a cool way of dealing with exposition. Bends interactivity to narrative purposes very well.
Writing awesome, location awesome. Linear but with room to pole at edges, and to find this rewarding — not just in a collectibles sense.
The TV and radio stuff is amazing. That ‘fuck the government clip’ where a guy plays two brothers… Genuinely amazing.
