11. There's a fairly great risk that it won't be very good.

Based of the fact that?...

It's a cover based 3rd person shooter with QTE's and they are generally quite bland.

and yet people forget that this game is more thanthat

And what exactly is that? It took forever to show any gameplay and what little we've seen looks fairly run-of-the mill. I like the camera-work a lot but it looks like another 7th gen thirteen-on-the dozen production with dazzling visuals. It looks very linear and boxed in and QTE's are the devil in my eyes. I have yet to see anything that sets this apart and lends the promise of greatness.

What is it that makes this game appear so good or even amazing then?

I will also say that the setting has real potential; I'm somewhat obsessed with victorian London, such atmosphere and a fascinating mix of grime and muck and upper class.
