Another one of those games that I need to play in small chunks lest my mind decides to make my stomach violently eject any food I was careless enough to ingest in the past few hours!
Jokes apart (I was perfectly serious), this game was extremely enjoyable - more so for me, because the game's protagonist bears an eerie resemblance to my new friend Johan.*
There are a few loose ends in the story, which I guess they were hoping to address in a sequel. The story itself plays out in a believable fashion, but it's the gameplay that steals the spotlight here. Right from the start, it is clear that the focus here is on the running, jumping and vaulting - which is perfectly fine by me. In fact, it is commendable just how authentic the actions feel, given the first-person mode. It is a relatively short game but felt a lot longer to me, only because of the frequent breaks I needed to take in between playing it. A special shout-out to the main menu theme, which is extremely catchy too.
You'll enjoy it - way more than I did - if you can play it without the constant fear of throwing up.
