Incredible story, I´ve always wanted to play it since I was a child. Made me really emotional.

I enjoyed it, but veterans of this genre may find it lacking. The game is visually attractive and the voice acting is very good (and it's refreshing to hear a British cast.) The mechanics are a bit clunky, though, and the whole experience is rather short. Another factor that killed it a bit is that Finn is such a little beast. This is understandable; the game is a tragic portrayal of the very difficult circumstances...
One of those cases when I'd give a neutral review if I had the option, but unfortunately it falls shorts in way too many aspects for the experience to be more on the "recommended" side. Pros: - There's something really unique, mysterious and intriguing about the story in this game that makes you wanna keep going and figure out what is going on. - Very mesmerizing bizarre, surreal, and oneiric atmosphere. Neutrals: ...
