Review in progress:
Some of the best writing and storytelling I've experienced in a game. I felt compelled to do every side quest because they all had intestering stories to tell. Unfortunately, the gameplay itself has its shortcomings. The combat feels stiff compared to other action games like Dark Souls. The frequent "detective" segments don't require any actual thinking and feel like a missed opportunity. There isn't enough incentive to explore the world outside of quests. Despite these flaws, I still had a really good time.
