This game is great and it all starts with setting. It's asylum setting stays fresh and interesting while never letting up the creepy horror atmosphere and fun exploration. I haven't done it in this playthrough but I imagine 100% completing this game is a tonne of fun just because of how cool the setting is. I'm so glad it leaned into that 2000's horror aesthetic because it does give the game that added little edge of tension.

The pacing here is incredible and the game absolutely flies away. Almost unsure as to how it managed to make 9 hours just melt away, the game spreads out its mechanics enough that you never feel like you're stagnating on one.

The story is very engaging, the action is phenomenally fun and the character designs are on point. Great game.
