I agree with many sentiments surrounding this game. From the baddest bad (a disjointed story, occasionally clunky controls, gimmicks that would be better off cut off or had some workaround) to the best of the best (an amazing soundtrack, jaw-dropping visuals, interesting narrative concepts).
There's simply no denying this game has a lot of heart and soul poured into it. It's also interesting to see that even though this game is so far removed from Silent Hill in many aspects, Keiichiro Toyama still manages to print his presence into many aspects of this that call back to his 1999 debut (dreams, reality, society gone wrong, etcetera).
Even though this game compelled me enough to get the platinum trophy and to be interested in playing its sequel, there's no denying its shortcomings, but it is rare for me that a videogame draws me so much into its world, characters and story, even when not being a coherent whole and not solving practically anything it sets up in the beginning.
Bottom line: Very recommended! Can't wait to play the second one on the PS4.
