Looks GOOD, sounds GOOD, is GOOD.Very artistic video game, with very decent gameplay to boot. A true gem in the midst of the many dull/mediocre video game releases we see these days. It's more than a game, it's an EXPERIENCE.

HIGHLY recommended, even at its full $20 price.

Game length: 6h 21m, first playthrough
- Missing 1 collectible and a handful of secret locations.
- A fair amount of backtracking to find collectibles involved.
- Not that much of 'stopping to see the sights'.

Quick notes:
1. Visuals and audio are AMAZING.
- Foreground and background art are a joy to look at. Environments/levels are diverse yet all very outstanding. The screenshots on the store page are enough to sell the whole game - it did for me.
- Sounds effects have a lot of "boom" and "oomph", was truly a pleasant experience (understatement) playing the game at a high volume.
- Noticeably exceptional soundtrack, complement the game sequences wonderfully.

2.1. Challenging game (though not unfairly so).
- Not as simple as most other games. Expect to die quite a lot.
- No "free" saves, require a resource. However, this resource is fairly abundant, and common enough to act as a 'quick save' mechanism.

2.2. Certain troublesome portions of the game may lead to a fair degree of frustration and cussing.
- A lot of repeating sequences on failure (no saves in between).
- Little room for error, may prove quite a challenge for most players.

3. Some "boring" (relative to a player's tolerance/opinion) backtracking involved for power-up/collectible finding.
