Killer soundtrack, tasty visuals, inspiring worldbuilding and straight-up impressive environmental storytelling.

However, the gameplay didn't click for me. On one hand it wants you to pay attention to every nook and cranny, absorb the environment, and understand it. On the other hand, it wants you to do it as fast as possible. Obviously, the solution is to pass through every level twice - the first time to do reconnaissance, and the second time to 360 noscope everything. I get it. But why!? I fail to see how this contributes to what the game is trying to say. It feels to me like the developer heard some feedback that the game was "too boring" and then decided to add this time limit to spice things up. In the end, I think it only serves to pollute what is at its core an already marvelous game.

All things considered... this is a good, although confused, game.
