Non-linear narrative with well-constructed plot twists
The visual presentation is the best in the studio's history.
Solid English dubbing and good localization in Brazilian Portuguese.
Characters with their own stories that support emotional involvement.
Robust choice system with good incentives for multiple parties.

Final chapters are repetitive and rushed, with a clear decrease in pace.
Excessive stealthiness in the final stretch compromises the variety of gameplay.
He does not convert who has never identified with the proposition of freedom.
Terror doesn't really scare. It works more like a horror atmosphere than a real fear.

Several levels of difficulty with relatively customizable details.
The rewind function generally allows to directly correct decisions leading to death or serious consequences (can be disabled)
Exciting setting, thrilling finale...
Wide decision-making system with many alternatives and 44 deaths
The stealth passages, the tools to be actively used, and the puzzles enhance the gameplay mechanics.
Exciting chase and action scenes (often based on QTEs)
Game figurines reproduced in a very realistic way overall.
High quality textures, animations and effects (lighting).
Highly proficient English speakers, mainly proficient German speakers.
Good sound effects and appropriate music

Characterization of the characters is rather superficial and stereotypical.
...even if the repetitive and often frustrating stealth phases ruin the pace.
Staging not always excellent which does not always fully showcase the scenes.
... but the typical limitations of Supermassive Games' productions are still present.

The visual aspect, very solid. The creatures, successful and quite disturbing. The Turning Points system, practical for replaying. Some really effective paranoid passages. The immersive sound atmosphere.
The writing, too cliché. Characters sometimes annoying. Lots of repetitive stealth. Choices less impactful than hoped. A narrative lull that breaks the rhythm.

The fleeting passages create suspense without annoying.
Good balance between story, exploration, and gameplay.
Replayability thanks to alternative decisions and possible character deaths.
