A very good game that kept me hooked until the very end. The quality is top notch especially the voice acting. It's a little on the easy side but in this context it means the plot kept going and I remained firmly anchored in the game's eerie atmosphere and rural charms; Delighted from start to finish.

A fantastic game on almost every fronts.

Only downside is that inventory management is a chore. Otherwise, ambience is great and creepy. Disturbing even. Powers are fun to use. Enemies are interesting. The Lore is amazing. 9/10, easy.

This game is based on the TTRPG Werewolf: The Apocalypse. It's a great initiation for newcomers and a new way to experience it for veterans. No two playthrough are the same. Lots of replay value and a great story. It has few mechanics but makes fantastic use of them. Highly recommend!

In a word? Awesome.

Aside from a few technical glitches, it is an extremely pleasant experience both in single and multiplayer so far.

Combat: Takes the best out of Dead Island and makes it even better with meaningful skills, upgrades and craftable weapons.
Parcour: Not quite as good as Mirror's Edge, but the next best thing we're likely to ever get outside of ME2 itself.
Leveling: Adapts to your play style. You have three separate XP bars that each rise depending on the kind of actions your partake in.
Story: To be fair, I haven't seen much of it so far. But what I did see was compelling.
Scare: So far, not very scary however. While combat is fun, it's also a bit on the easy side up to now so it doesn't help. Dying, however, makes you lose XP, so I fully expect to become efraid of death in battle as the game goes on.

In a sentence? Vastly worth it.

An truly original take on gaming, FMV and social media mashed together into a entirely enjoyable experience. Investigate North built a interesting narrative to explore at your own pace, while you build your theories about what happened. Along the way, you get to share your ideas and meet new people. There's no winning or losing, just a relaxing experience.

I recommend this game if the idea of intelligent competitive space fights appeal to you. The concept is deeper and better than just blowing up the other ships. Strategy is important as just randomly killing won't be enough. You need to think and plan in order to gain and keep the advantage during the match all the way to the end. With multiple ships at your disposition, you can quickly switch to make sure you have the right tool for the kind of job you're planning or to adapt to enemy movements.

All in all, it's great fun that can only get better.
