“This is a great game, the graphics are absolutely stunning and the soundtrack is one of the best I have ever had the pleasure of hearing. On top of all this, it comes with a narrative that is unparalleled in its quality as you make your way through this beautiful maze full of debauchery and iniquity. It truly brings a tear to my eye that such a perfect game can be acquired for such a low price. It even makes me wonder what the AAA industry is doing when a developer like this can completely blow any game they have made out of the water. I rate this gorgeous work of art 10/10.”
“And graphics this game does well.”
