graphics4 positive mentions

story3 negative mentions

Visually stylistic with detailed and well-designed levels and environments.
Interesting puzzle elements combined with varied gunplay and weapon types including grenades and mines.
The story has a unique alternative history setting with atmospheric lore revealed through exploration.

Gameplay suffers from frustrating mechanics such as unavoidable fall damage, clunky combat where player cannot move while shooting, and AI that makes some combat encounters tedious.
Poor control responsiveness, inability to shoot while running, lack of customizable controls, no full screen or resolution options, and no controller support.
Short levels with simplistic puzzles, grammar and writing issues in the story, and many players find the overall challenge borders on annoying rather than fun.
