This is praised: Above all, the graphics are very well received across the board. The atmosphere is impressive, the surroundings detailed. The figures, characters and the story surrounding Amicia and Hugo are also convincing. The variety with regard to mechanics introduced later is also mostly praised.
This doesn’t go over well: There are deductions in the B rating for performance problems, the frame rate suffers from stuttering and is rather unstable. But the gameplay is also, for example, by VideoGamesChronicle (VGC) criticized as too repetitive, some things seem confusing. Also, the story doesn’t always fit a more aggressive playstyle, sneaking is clearly preferred.
