I can understand that Ready at Dawn tried to make a 'single player, story driven, cinematic game' and can respect that. But it doesnt stop the game from being bad.

In all honesty a ''cinematic driven game'' is an oxymoron. Taking gameplay away makes it less of a game, and im sure gamers want actual games.

Thje game isn't bad though. I own the game and the worst thing about this game is that there aren't enough full-on gameplay segments. The best thing though, by far, is its atmosphere, and it makes a diference. I've played many games with brilliant atmosphere like BioShock, Assassin's Creed II and Forza Horizon 2, but this beats them in atmosphere. The world is well-developed too. The only thing that's really wrong with this game are having too many QTE's, too many cutscenes, less of gameplay and its short length.

I've not finished the game yet, played 2 hours of it and the story is definitely interesting.

Fair enough, definitely would have been much better with more gameplay segments.

But with such a game having a great story and atmosphere I always wonder why not simply make it an actual movie or book instead.
