Better than Heavy Rain in a lot of ways but also somewhat lacking.

For me personally a lot of Kara's chapters are just a resounding miss and her story feels quite dated. It's as if they wrote this the same time as Heavy Rain and Beyond but waited for technology to catch up(?)

I miss some of the QTE prompts from HR which actually made some sequences of the game difficult, I feel like a lot of the ways you could legitimately fail are now too easy, and you can only fail if you're spectacularly bad at games or fail them to see what happens.

While the scope of the story is less immediately engaging a lot of the individual character work is quite spectacular. I think it's funny that I didn't engage with the fanbase at all until after my first playthrough and I still ended up loving all of the fan favourites.

Big plus is the QOL update with the flow chart and checkpoints. I like it.
