I know that a thread about this game exists, but I made a new one because I will explain some basics that can help you stand with the bad things, and why should you do this? Because the good stuff is amazing.
First I wanna say that this game is simply amazing, one of the best stories I've played in my long gamer life (since Spectrum), with references and inspiration in Twin Peaks, Silent Hill and Alan Wake. So, if you like this things, you like this game, if not, stay away.
The bad things are:
-Outside day graphics, I think this is the worst thing of the game, inside graphics, character graphics, day with rain, night etc are acceptable
-GAMEPLAY, it's kinda like RE4, it's playable, I advise not to use the second analog stick during normal play and to use a lot the BACK plus X command to quickly turn around, this is of major importance, also you can quickly open doors if you run towards them and then press A (X to run, A to open)
-TIME, now, this is important, if you want to make time pass, just smoke a cigarette, look at the clock in the back and control the hours, that's why cigarettes say "you won't notice the time passing"
-TRAVEL, I didn't know about this, I played the game without it, but Berstuck said "I'd recommend completing georges side quest as early as possible so that you obtain the radio. Once you have this you can fast travel to all previously visited destinations and makes everything a lot easier.". I won't recommend this because you will loose lot's of conversation between the characters and it's not that hard to travel
-CARS, if you don't like your car you can buy new ones in the scrapyard, if you can't find it, ultimately he will be at the hotel
-HEALTH/FOOD, so you have lot's of food and low health? Sleep and then eat, problem solved
That's all, enjoy the game, you will be surprised and next thing you know it's going to be one of your favorite games and you will be telling everyone how great it is and that they should get one.
BTW, amazing cover:
