I finally got around to playing this one, just in time before the remake is released, and boy, this was an incredibly short but extremely powerful emotional rollercoaster. It started out as a fairy tale with even some cheerful moments and funny characters - and then turned into a gory, heartbreaking and downright cruel dark fantasy. I was actually surprised how fast they changed the tone, and went from 'PG-13' to 'R' in a matter of minutes basically (and now I know where they got the inspiration from for A Plague Tale).

The two protagonists were great, and so was the whole world and atmosphere, and I liked the unique control system, although it definitely took some time to get used to it. Graphics and music were also amazing, but I ran into two game-breaking bugs, unfortunately. Reloading the last checkpoints solved those issues, though. Maybe they could add some properly voiced dialogues and a few more hours of playtime in the remake.
