Just started the game and I have to say it has a different vibe with the direction of it. Down to the acting, visuals, story and all, it has a different but good feel to it.

From the makers of Max Payne, awesome IP with visual and sound to go with it. Gameplay and story is the driving force behind this game. Adults only.

The story is very interesting and the gameplay is great once you begin to unlock more powers. The story is kind of boring though

Confusing narrative but ends on a really cool note. Gameplay was awesome, controls really well, story isn't too long. 20 hours or less to finish.

I would have liked for the narrative to be a bit more cohesive and fully deliver on the premise with more clarity. The story line is abstract and doesn't have a linear flow that you can follow so that feeling of, "what's going on," never really goes away. However, the game play and concept is so innovative and awesome it makes up for the shortcomings in narrative for the most part. It's challenging, thought provoking and really fun to play.

This is a fantastic game with a really trippy story. I recommend it. However, expect moments of slowdown when the action picks up.

When I saw that the same studio that created "Quantum Break" for the XBox One (my favorite exclusive for this system) I was SO excited. Then when I heard it was also teaming with 505 games &coming to PS4 (sorry, my preferred console) I knew I was in.
It delivered on all fronts and I hope that these 2 studios continue to team for more in old franchises (Alan Wake or Quantum Break) or all new worlds/franchises. Whatever they deliver I'll be there!

Very intriguing story and weird but in a good way. Think of a third person shooter with powers in a paranormal setting

The combat is great and the story is serviceable. Great design, exploration is great and the particle effects are the best I’ve seen. But their is a cost to the performance of a frame rate that is unacceptable for the majority who own a standard PS4. I am sure PS4 standard edition is long in the toothe but no matter what the game should not be sold until it was full optimized.
