The game has many strengths for an AA-tier title. Among its clear strengths are the atmosphere, the storyline, the soundtrack, and the graphics, all of which are top-notch. Although I enjoyed the game, it’s impossible to ignore a few issues that ultimately leave me with mixed feelings about it. First, there are, of course, technical issues that still persist, such as enemies occasionally freezing in a T-pose, items getting stuck in textures, and other glitches that occur regularly throughout the game. Second, it’s impossible to ignore how drawn-out the game is and how overloaded it is with dialogue segments. I certainly understand that this blend of a Souls-like combat system, good old quests from the dawn of the video game industry, and a sort of interactive cinematic detective story is a unique product that’s difficult to execute well, but after 20 hours of the camera spinning around during dialogues, it starts to get a bit annoying and off-putting, even despite a decent level of interest in what’s happening, thanks to the magnificent atmosphere and design of interwar London. And last but not least is the combat system, which, in my opinion, turned out to be extremely good for this genre blend, but still quite easy and not the most interesting. I would recommend this game to anyone who values story and atmosphere above all else and has already played the major titles of this kind.
