I didn't expect DONTNOD on this kind of game and it's good to see them try something a bit different from what they are known for. The game mainly focus on the story which I enjoyed although some part of it seemed forced but besides that, the story was pretty good.

I particulary enjoyed the lvl up system as the main way to get experience is by drinking the blood of the citizens of each district. You can increase the amount of experience you'll get from them if you find hints about them and I really liked this. You'll also have to take into consideration that if you do drink their blood, they'll die and it'll impact the district they live in. However, I found the impact not that important and was disappointed by that fact.

Regarding the ending, there are 4 of them (2 good with slight differences and of course 2 bad), and unlocking them is as you would expect, kill no one or just a few for the good ending and kill everyone for the bad, it's a classic and I have to say that I was disappointed as the game does not take in consideration who you decide to kill but the number of person you kill for the ending you'll get (even if you decide to only kill bad people)

For the gameplay, there's nothing new and is a bit clumsy and even if I knew that it wouldn't be that good, this is surely the main issue of the game in my opinion as there are a lot of fights and no way to stealth your way through. You quickly get to the limits of the fights mechanics and it becomes boring and anoying more than anything pretty fast. You could replay the game again in order to have another ending but I personally didn't due to the number of fights in the game and the clumsy mechanics.

Overall, I enjoyed the game for the ambiance, soundtrack, dialogues and the story. If you like story driven game, you'll probably like this game but if you're not, then this is not the game for you. I recommend this game for people who likes story driven game as I said but not for the full price as I find it expensive for what it is but if you can get ir for around €30, then you can go for it
