What players say
short and sweet. Art is gorgeous and the attention to details on what players would do (burning everything) is refreshing. The moves and aiming system is bit janky esp when throwing daggers but overall the on-the-rails gameplay and storytelling makes up for it. Great way to spend a quality 3 hours.
