Ignisbruno was right about two things in their review: The game is visually stunning and has excellent music. But, the game also has good gameplay elements. It's reminiscent of an old-school style point-n-click adventure game, but with free-ish movement and a fixed-ish camera. You DO have to play more than an hour though, which is NOT nearly enough time to judge the gameplay, as at an hour you haven't even begun to build steam. You won't even have gotten to the part where you need to switch back and forth to access different areas and solve puzzles, or the parts where you need to be stealthy. Yes, things are highlighted, but you can turn the highlights off. You can even toggle the "Insight" or turn on and auto-complete for certain gameplay elements. The split-screen sections aren't just for cutscenes, or to bring your PC to its' knees, they are there to advance the plot and and because you need to manipulate the world in both worlds to get by. What this game, however, isn't: very optimized. My GPU is aging, yes (an RX580 4gb overclocked and watercooled, backed by 32gb DDR4-3000 and a Ryzen 5 3600), but it feels like it should be able to handle the game better than it does. My conclusion on this game is that it's actually pretty good at about 3 hours in, but it definitely takes some time to build up a head of steam and pull you in. Oh and you definitely need to play with a game controller - the keyboard and mouse are just awkward. It would be 5 stars if the game ran better.
