Unconventional Storytelling
An enigmatic story told through cinematic sequences woven into the gameplay, twisting and folding to an unexpected conclusion.
I've been interested in this since the reveal back in March, and after trying it at PAX East this weekend I absolutely want to get this game when it comes out! It has such satisfying combat and doesn't feel tedious if you need to repeat a section multiple times because you keep dying. Also, nothing beats the feeling of deflecting back a bullet without using the slow motion ability. I managed to pull that off once or twice unintentionally during my hands-on experience and it was one of the most satisfying feelings I had all weekend.
Anyone else interested in this game?
