What players say

Players praise the emotional story and bond between Amicia and Hugo, with many calling the ending devastating. The graphics and voice acting are widely admired. Opinions split on Amicia's character, some find her believably protective, others see her as selfish and reckless. Complaints include repetitive stealth, heavy auto-save stutter, and too many sections where you just walk.
