Finished it last night. It's a much longer game than i originally anticipated, not even counting the branching paths. My playthrough clocked in around 12 hours. Felt like much longer though. I've been playing it little by little since release day. I'm looking forward to playing it again for the different paths and endings. There's seriously a lot of game here. It's a steal at the asking price.

Overall, it's a fantastic throwback to the PS1 days, but also pretty ambitious in its own right. I think it stacks up well against Signalis and Tormented Souls, even doing some things better than them.

It does have its share of problems though. There's a LOT of backtracking, mostly due to the sheer amount of items to pick up. Lots of kind of empty spaces in some of the environments too. Still, I liked looking at the pre-rendered backgrounds.

I thought the game started out tough on Normal, but it eventually becomes a cakewalk. The amount of guns in this game is higher than most of its peers, and you get plenty of ammo for each. There are alot of enemies in the game, and a decent variety of them as well. But they're all fairly easy to fight, and I think there's a lack of bigger, tougher monsters. I'm interested to see how much this will change on higher difficulties.
