Really good dark atmosphere and a fun gameplay loop. Explore, see spooky sights, go fishing, do sidequests, upgrade boat, repeat for about ten hours. I did think the story was a little thin, it seemed like mood was a higher priority than characters and plot, but it turned out pretty enjoyable anyway. A very good video game.

A small critical note: When I rolled credits, I took a look at my remaining objectives, saw that it was just fetch quests and filling out the encyclopedia, and decided I was done with the game. I wasn't so hooked on the gameplay loop that I needed to do everything that the game had to offer, but I didn't rush through it either. I had an enjoyable ten hours doing the stuff that seemed interesting, I fully upgraded the boat, rolled credits, and decided to move on to my next game. I feel like that's worth mentioning.
