What players say
The extremely clunky linear storytelling and a lot of railroading stop this from being really great, but it has a fantastic combat system and a beautiful score. 6/10
Short and to the point. I do wish it had more variety in combat. There was always anticipation for something to be new or better. But no matter which hat you choose combat remains smash the attack button over and over again. Otherwise it is a very well done and charming game. The lovecraftian element here is well represented. Overall its a great pick up. Especially with the sale.
I love the presentation, visual flare and soundtrack but it is boring to play through, unfortunately.
