    9/10 ARCHITECTURE & DESIGN

    This game is an architect's wet dream. The use of brutalism and classic "American corporate" styles as the embodiment of a paranormal living version of the CIA/FBI is pure genius. This is backed by near perfect graphics design, sound design, pacing and atmosphere.
    As a sort of advanced walking-simulator with a bit of shooting and platforming thrown in, I would find this game near-perfect. It is a masterpiece of post-cold-war fantastical atmosphere.

    6/10 MEDIOCRE SHOOTER

    Except for the stellar design of weapon/skill "impact feel" (mostly thanks to great visual and sound design), this game is just not that great of a shooter. It is decent... but that's it. Combat rapidly gets tedious, which just gets reinforced by infinitely repeating activities and missions getting added to the mix later in the game. The platforming is actually relatively fun, but also gets old quite fast. If anything, the gameplay is just a decent excuse for the story and atmosphere... but it's much too present to serve that role properly.
    Some rare unique fights are worth the effort and spectacle.

    Play it for the atmosphere, not for the gameplay.    … Expand
