The visuals and the sounds are extremely impressive, the augmented reality stuff is really well made. For example the memory rewriting is impressive. It has a lot of cool idea's which will hopefully be used in other games. It's unfortunate that the game itself is not an open world game or anything close to a game where you can do something else but follow the story. The game is on rails heavy and very linear with a certain boost pack here and there for variation. You cannot do anything else, which is unfortunate. It also tells you all the time what to do next.

I do like the combat system, it's quite refreshing. However it also restricts you by not allowing you to do something else. It also seems to not work quite that well combating groups, since you’re dodging all the time and lose your combo. As fun as the combat system is, pressing 2 buttons all the time and using your sensen power now and then is on the other hand not be that fun...

The story is very nice as the game is story driven, but the storytelling and the game itself are a bit linear. The cut scenes take up a lot of time and while playing allow you to not do anything else. They are however at various points visually spectacular. Using a different protagonist as most other games was nice.

The biggest downside of the game are the camera and the controls. The camera is utter ♥♥♥♥ when playing with keyboard and mouse.

For a first game, it's quite ok. But it should have been more...
