Character writing
Music
The well-balanced difficulty for a narrative game, ultimately few frustrations (despite some unintentionally tense moments)
Music
The well-balanced difficulty for a narrative game, ultimately few frustrations (despite some unintentionally tense moments)
The lack of risk-taking on a title that timidly rehashes genre tropes, while also remaining very politically correct.
Catching oneself on the edge systematically during climbing phases?

Two heroes to vary the situations a bit
Presence of a chapter selector
Rather clean graphically (Unreal Engine 5)
Successful dubbing but only in English.

A scenario that makes sense
Two quite charismatic and complementary characters...
The third character, Persephone, chilling
An undeniable graphic quality, from landscapes to faces...
Music and sound design, to be experienced with headphones.
Sold at a fairly low price (39.99?) and with a nice physical edition.

Structure too repetitive over time

Lack of precision on the platform

Infiltration not as interesting as hoped
No VF, not a big deal but too bad
