Rated 5 out of 5 stars
Great "interactive experience."
I sat on this game for almost two weeks before I decided to open it. At one point I even considered taking it back to get a refund. I just wasn't to happy about the review scores it was getting, and I hesitated on it. I'm so glad I decided to jump in and find out for myself. I think the graphics are amazing. I think the sound is great. I loved the score. I enjoyed the story. There really isn't much I can complain about, other than the game play being to close to "Heavy Rains." Its not really a negative per say, but its something I would have hoped for a little more innovation. While there are some changes, and the game play seems smoother than Heavy Rains, I still wish for a little bit more action in the "push buttons" area. That being said, there were times I was emotionally moved. It was something that caught me off guard, and something I didn't expect. Definitely worth its purchase price.... well at least to me.

Another great game from Quantricdream
I really did love this game. Ellen Page and Willem Defoe do a fantastic job at voice acting their characters. This is a beautiful game with a story that is both engaging and immersive. Player controls may take some time getting used to if you have never played a quanticdream game before but as a Heavy Rain veteran, I felt right at home. Combat sequences take some time to get used to but after a few stumbles I was able to go through the rest with ease. If you want a deep story, this is a good game for you. Just don't go in looking for a action packed third person.

Like being in a movie
I really liked this game. The story was engaging and the characters were well thought out and felt real. Graphics were great, especially how they aged Ellen Page and the rest of the actors. Gameplay however felt a little too simple at times. It was more of a choose your own adventure than a video game. Time skips started to get annoying, would have liked to have seen an option to play this linearly rather than jumping around. Overall, a good game that is engaging from begginning to end.
