As you know presentation is Fantastic. But story is a mixed bag. If you wanted Sin City you won't get it. The closest comparison to me is Hellboy or Constantine movie with Keanu Reeves. Constantine has some major 'mood killers' that make you say 'it couldve been so perfect, how did they ruin it?' well... This story has some major 'mood killers' aswell. Im not talking only about tonal shifts although theres a lot of that. Humor is good. The goofiness is what I don't like. You want to explore dark subjects of afterlife, sin, evil, religion, nihilism then you need much more serious approach. It really needed to be more serious, creepy, misterious etc. at times. It was as if the game wanted to be 18+ with its subject matters and presentation but than wanted the universe and dialogues to be more for like 13+ audience. Really if you know movie Constantine you will see a lot of commonalities between those two. Big problems in the story [No big spoilers] - Shouldve taken its time. We jump into deep waters way too quickly. - Too much exposition dialouge. - Too much lore. Less lore is more lore - at least sometimes. - [Light spoiler] One character is sort of forced into the narrative, mostly for exposition dialouge... It was really annoying. - Too goofy at times. Not consistent enough with the tone. The universe and some characters became unbelievable to me. BUT overall recommend. Especially at a discount. To me i think it was more fun than Hellboy or Constantine. Perhaps because, well, its a game. Its interactive. I hope the creators will continue to work on games.
