The atmosphere is HEAVY (i'm sorry...). The story, even if twisted and abstract at time is extremly engaging and put you in the constant state of alertness. I'm not the fan of QTEs, but surprisingly they do fit quite well in this game - I enjoy the idea that you can get killed if you're not agile enough. The walking sections however are a little wooden, the camera angles improve the vibe, but at the same time make the controls unnecessarily harder.
I also really like the 4 protagonists, although Norman is a little flat and Madison has this romance thingy totally out of the blue. Generally the way women are portrait in this is questionable at best, but I assume that it's the characteristic of noir world this game is takes handfuls.
The graphics are very impressive for the time the game were realised, they look good even today... yeah the uncanny valley faces too, I am a big fan of these! For the time it's surely something big
