Game has its cliche issues but I'll say the best thing this game has to offer is sound design and pure audiogasm.

Game uses binaural recording for the sound effects and voices, so don't do yourself a huge disservice by not playing it with headphones.

Best way to enjoy this game's exceptional sound design (which btw actually ties into gameplay) is to get an external DAC that accepts optical in, connect it to the PS4 and let it pass through all audio to the external device. Amp that signal to your headphones.

I can count with 2 hands how many games that truly uses binaural recording. Damn glad Ninja Theory saw this wide open market and went with it even if the masses don't know what they are missing by playing with TV speakers.

Uhm... because it IS a digital-only game. Was never planned for a physical release. Ninja Theory is after all just an indie.

They call it a "AAA" indie.

AAA means nothing actually, a game is a game.

Finished it in 5 hours 28 minutes. If it wasn't for 2 puzzles that I got stuck at, would probably be closer to 5 hours only. So... really depends if you'll be stuck on the puzzles or not.

The fight sequences in this game is pretty scarce too btw. Most of the game is walking from point A to point B, listening to the story, deal with a puzzle, fight some peons, fight a boss, repeat. I'm simply giving this game a pass because of its excellent sound design, probably best this year if Uncharted Lost Legacy doesn't beat it.

I found it decent. Some parts of the story didn't jive well with me. Some parts of it is unsettling, which is the whole goal of the game and they succeed in doing that.

The thing that made me most annoyed is the puzzles, not because they are hard or confusing... no not at all, but because the puzzles requires inch-perfect positioning that the game doesn't even hint to you about. Just because I'm 2 steps away from an initiation piece, the puzzle doesn't solve itself and says I fail. Just because the camera is not aligned inch-perfect, then the puzzle isn't solved? Just because I have all the pieces but I don't have them in the correct order, the puzzle fails... wtf?

Really can cause a headache with all the voices blabbering shit about how "stupid" you are when in fact the game is the one being stupid in the first place.

I don't think it's a game for everyone to be honest. Go into it with an open mind.

Thanks bro. I know that many thinks I complain way too much.


I think the game at $20 would be a perfect price.


The concept is to ingrain schizophrenia, so the players knows what it feels like to be mentally unstable. Annoying indeed, but that's the point.

PC version is better though... solid 60fps makes the limited FOV a lot more bearable.

The PS4 Pro enhancement here is a little wonky if you ask me.
