I may get back to this at a later date when my yearning for a lovecraftian-esque atmosphere in a art style reminiscent of older playstation consoles comes back to me as it does while I continue to write this review, however, the pure amount of backtracking within this game mixed with its very simple and sometimes annoying combat (due to a focus upon enemies health and time-to-kill than making fluid or enticing combat) simply push me away at the moment.

As I've stated above, the atmosphere of this game is simply breathtaking and possibly among the best I've seen before, I was constantly stopping in place to turn off my HUD just to take screenshots of the beautiful areas. While the combat and gameplay itself may not be the cleanest or grasp you into it's world as other games may, it's atmosphere is beyond breathtaking and, to be honest, the main reason I'd want to get back to this game.

The lore within this world is also fascinating too, given to you mostly through your own acts of stitching the narrative together through dialogue and books found upon the ground scattered throughout the world, it's very interesting and reminds me a fair bit of Dark Souls reading item descriptions and diving into tiny bits and pieces to truly build the full picture.

Overall a definite positive experience, but one I'm conflicted on getting back to in the near future.
