    Episode 4 is the weakest entry in the series thus far. It seems the developers tried to introduce too many twists in the story and ultimately ended up making much of the "choices matter" aspect of the game moot. The pacing felt rushed, the writing was the worst its been (even considering some particularly bad segments in Episode 3), and, from a technical standpoint, this episode was theEpisode 4 is the weakest entry in the series thus far.

    The fourth episode of the Council has some challenging puzzles and an interesting story to follow. There are unfortunately some graphical issues and some confrontations are too easy with some new abilities.

    Irrespective of its technical flaws, the studio can hold its head high with its effort on the penultimate episode, creating the perfect springboard for Louis’ story to reach the studio’s apex of storytelling in its finale.
