Great game with a strong theme throughout and fantastic gameplay.

The visuals and settings are incredibly immersive with great use of horror tropes. Voice acting is great and adds a lot to general gameplay sections.
Enemies always feel tough and the stealth mechanics are predictable and feel fair, allowing you to engage properly with the game instead of getting frustrated for being caught by seemingly omniscient NPCs.

I would say this game is perfect for the first two thirds but in the final act a combination of an overly supernatural plot, too much explanation to solve that plot, and new gameplay powers turned me off a bit. At the start of the game, you play as sister and brother fleeing from an unknown mystic plague while navigating the horrors of medieval war. By the end, you are the god-king rat master taking on the world. It felt a little odd, but did not takeaway from the overall positive gaming experience.

This game is an absolute masterpiece and I can't wait to get into the sequel.
