Great atmosphere, AWESOME music and solid gameplay. Don't get scared by the comments about high difficulty, just save after every battle and try to find every crate. You get a game over when any of the characters die, but every time you get an option to redo the fight. At first you might be frustrated by the lack of resources (especially rifle ammo), but by the end you will be drowning in weapons and ammo. The axe and the pistol are all your friends, so don't forget about them when you have to finish an enemy on 10 hp. Also you get flat damage bonuses when attacking from the side (+2) and from the back (+4). Also, the best weapons in the game have unlimited ammo, but the have to recharge for a number of turns after every use. Stunning (and later on freezing) your enemies is the key to conserving ammunition and health packs. To conserve health even more, give the med packs you want to use to Joan and use them from her for a bonus 15% to healing. But don't give her with too much of your supplies, because you might regret it. This is one of the games that are the most fun when played the second time. Especially satisfying are the ways you can exploit the game mechanics and defeat some of the bosses with melee weapons only.
