VGChartz’s Mark Nielsen: “In retrospect its not hard to see why some people were insistently raving about this game at the end of a year as star-packed as 2023, because even among that pack it stands out as, if perhaps not the best, then certainly the boldest. Its gameplay is what it is – sometimes great, sometimes a bit underwhelming compared to everything else – but its writing and atmosphere (and soundtrack) are simply exceptional, and its certainly a game that has to be experienced by any longtime fans of storytelling in games.”
