Stealth survival story rich game with beautiful graphics and gruesome scenarios. Both the main protagonist and the sidekicks are well designed with multiple levels of depth. The story telling is amazing, however there are some things about the plague, that is the main setting of the game, that are not explained enough.
The voice acting, the in-game music and game ambient are simply outstanding and fit perfectly.

The stealth gameplay and puzzles are pretty simple and straight forward. The focus on this game was not set on the combat, so it is dumb and can be greatly improved in the sequel. The rats vs rats fights are foolish and the "last boss" fight is terrible.

Completing the 16 chapters takes 6-10 hours, and ~ 13 hours for 100%.

Not a big Star Wars fan, but this game is really well made. It is perfect balance of combat, platforming and puzzles. The graphics and level design is stunning. Personally love that there are no side missions, that the the skill tree is simple, there are no in game item shop and you simply progress by doing the story and exploring.
In some way it reminds me to the Tomb Raider series. I absolutely recommend this game.

Amazing story, naration and has astonishing graphics. The combat is dull and repetative. The sound in game is best ever, definitely recommend.
Can't wait for the sequel.

Just rework the user interface and this game is the BOMB.
