Where do I even begin?
I've started this game about a week ago (already at 72 hours), and I just couldn't put it away. The main story, side investigations and lore completely mesmerized me.
I wouldn't call it the best story ever, but it certainly is a BIG plus. +
Most of the characters are interesting, the voice acting is excellent and the main character, although a tortured soul, is very well done.
Environment is beautiful most of the time, and the lighting is great for a game set in the dark and gloomy streets of London night life, which is a gigantic plus from someone as visually impaired as myself.
What I really liked about the game was its fantastic musical score. A majestic violin piece, if I'm not mistaken. I enjoyed it very much.

The game, sadly, has its shortcomings, such as THE DAMN CAMERA. It irritated me so much, it would just bounce around, move and rotate weirdly. I almost wanted to throw up at times. Don't get me started at the "lock camera on enemy" feature because it'd bounce and swap locks from one enemy to another every half a second, which made it unusable in combat with more than one opponent.
The game also suffers from heavy frame drops while merely walking around. It appears to be a problem with loading assets, one which a lot of people complained about.

Somewhat of a mixed opinion I have on game's combat mechanics. Health and stamina replenishes when you re-spawn, but ammunition, health packs (serums), and blood level sadly, do not. A mechanic which created a lot of frustration in me and caused me to repeatedly die. I mean, if I can't defeat the enemy WITH a serum and ammo, how am I supposed to beat it WITHOUT?

In the end, I got over all of the not-insurmountable cons and wonderful pros, and enjoyed an overall great experience, one which I'd recommend to anyone even remotely interested in a good story as I am.
