Finished playing this yesterday ($1 for 3 months of Game Pass).
I'm surprised to say that, but this was a very good game. Linear, and most of the gameplay pretty basic, but very well designed, with authors having clear idea about what they want to accomplish. The following was absolutely top notch:
- atmosphere
- music / sound effects
- immersion
Story was good, characters felt authentic, only few annoying segments. The game gave me much more good memories in 10h than Greedfall did in 26h (not that hard to accomplish, but still worth noting). Some of the moments in the game - combination of what's happening, atmosphere, music, etc. are really amazing. Worth playing just for expierience.
Also - if was afraid that the little kid will be annoying, but surprisingly it was OK. If you like the atmosphere of Planescape: Torment (mortuary in the beginning), parts of Hellblade or even New Vegas: Dead Money, you will like this. 8/10, one of the best games of 2019 for me (along with new Fire Emblem and Sekiro).

And again, this can be played almost for free now using XBox Game Pass for PC.
