Solid game with technical deficiencies
The game has an interesting setting and the visuals are very well executed, the voice acting is very good and the characters are believable (playing in english). The lore is presented through messages, posters and letters that can be found and read. The atmosphere is rather dark and there is no shortage of maimed bodies in later chapters, the preview images didn't do it justice IMO. Sadly, the special architecture and grandness are often drowned out by that, possibly intentionally. The more technically inclined should not look too closely at the devices presented, but the "artistic freedom" doesn't show as boldly as in other titles. There seems to be a collectible system judging from messages when finding some objects, but you cannot look at the collection from ingame. Sadly, there seems to be no way to rebind controls, which makes it hard for me to play, especially during the occasional "action scenes". Screen resolution is detected OK but not applied properly (1280x1024 in my case). Thus, the main menu text is offscreen, but once you find the correct entry you can set it to windowed and adjust the vertical resolution until it fits horizontally (in fullscreen mode, the videos are OK with horizontal bars, but the game runs in max. vertical size and scales off screen horizontally). Another common issue is that the intro is quite long and unskippable, even after having an ongoing game. This is just not good design practice. The intros are cool, but after the first five times I'd still like to skip them most of the time. Loading times are long, but that's on max. settings running off an old harddrive on my Athlon X4 950 with GTX 760. It's struggling, but playable with some major stutters, even the "action scenes" are doable (but not pleasant). I'm not sure they actually add to the game, but they're not too bad (until now at least). Lastly, the game only autosaves, and only at certain points, like old console titles, so you cannot play in short sessions (not good)!
