One of the big reasons is that it was something NEW!! (A welcomed breath of new originality and not just another sequel of sequel of sequel...). I thought the story was interesting, especially when you find out just why Ronan was killed (not a spoiler as that is what the whole story is about.. note the bullet holes in Ronan on the cover). I thought the graphics were awesome, the environment somewhat spooky, voice acting was top notch, and the facial expressions done rather well... Don't miss Ronan's facial expression in the last scene as he turns to someone calling his name. I thought it was priceless. It was a bit short, but it took me more than just a couple of days as I really tried to take in the environment and story trying to connect various dots. Sure, it could have been a lot more with difficulty levels, more side quests and all, but for what it was, I enjoyed it. (biggest wish would've been for a map, but not having it did lead to more exploration and discoveries). I hope the developers get to read this to know someone does appreciate their work... nicely done in my book. Thanks for the time and effort that went into this game for our enjoyment.… Expand

I think there are an awful lot of collectibles which is a good thing as you can see into the lives of other beings in the game, but they are easily missed without a guide so those just playing through may miss out on good extra stuff. The story behind it I think it is quite good as it is mysterious and keeps you interested.… Expand

   Visually it looks great. Backgrounds are stunning, animation is good and characters detailed. However, the whole world feels a little lifeless (excuse the obvious pun, considering the theme.) It almost feels like a story board with moving parts at times.
   
   Story is great, nice nice twists and was fun to see what happens next.
   
   Gameplay was a little barren and I found it a little cheap that the most of the collectibles were just needless back story and filler documents, that were in text form only. It would have been nice if each piece would have been narrated.
   
   Overall:
   It's a nice fun game that feels a bit incomplete and lacking in the grander scheme of things. Definitely worth a try for the story alone, but don't bother paying full price. Rental, discount or used should suffice. Only took me a weekend to get 100% completion.… Expand

Unfortunately it was let down by it's lack of true open-world, annoying navigation and it's reliance upon it's antagonists, the Demons, to step into your path as an obstacle when you were making progress.
   
   Relic and object finding was a chore and the lack of red herrings during investigations was another let down.
   
   The story was great and the plot twist unforgettable, but that doesnt carry well with too many gamers in an age where games like GTA V and Halo are brought back on next-gen consoles to blitz titles like this.… Expand

   The breaking point finally came when I went to the third floor of a building before completing an Investigation on the 2nd floor and accidentally jumped into a new cutscene. After that, there was no way to re-trigger the 2nd floor investigation or hold onto the progress of the 3rd floor investigation after being "killed" by a Demon and could progress no further in the story no matter what I tried. Even changing locations and trying to force the game to move me along or let me go back & re-do something didn't work. This is due to an unpredictable and lazy check-point save system that doesn't let you hold onto some progress while seemingly randomly allowing you to hold onto progress in other areas.
   The game had so much potential that it actually is painful as an avid gamer to see what they turned out.… Expand
