I was very pleasantly surprised with the game. It looks great considering the aging engine. (It would be amazing on modern engines) It's very atmospheric and I just love crawling in every place looking for easter eggs and more things to photograph. (and if you're careful you can find plenty of batteries. I had 10/10 for both almost all the time in last episodes)

Some people complaing about the protagonist's voice acting but I find it very fitting for what I imagine the guy is like :) The game has a lot of easter eggs, hidden things, things that only Finnish people understand (+/-) and on top of that extreme attention to small details. I found a phone number in random poster after the cave early in the game and much later I could call the number for some additional fun. Plenty of things like that.

The basic gameplay consists of walking around looking for structural damage / other things that need maintenance or documents exposing corruption and then snapping a photo of them. May not sound very exciting but the beautifully aged environments make if very enjoyable. For me at least. The game really rewards exploration.

There are also a number of puzzles which vary from simple to slightly more complex ones but you don't have to solve them all (Unless you're looking for 100% completion) Good thing about the puzzles is that usually they are rather logical. There are few places where you have to do some precision jumping but if you've played any fps games it's nothing too difficult.

There is also bigger plot behind the whole thing which slowly unravels as you find new clues and stuff. I have to pay more attention to it on the next playthrough but it seemed interesting enough. Anyway I'm really looking forward to part 2 and want to congratulate the devs for great work so far.

As a sidenote I bought the game for my 70 year old father who enjoys playing Myst type games and he at least seems to have enjoyed the experience even if some areas that require nimble fingers were causing additional grey hairs for him :)

As a final warning I'd like to point out that if you're looking for continuous action and get bored of exploring places just for the sake of exploring you may not enjoy the game as much as I did.
