Compelling story and setting.
Clever, well-thought-through puzzles.

Atmosphere a unique mix of scifi and noir elements.
Audio commentary an excellent addition.
Story is well paced throughout.

Cons

Gun battles can be difficult.
The ending might be a bit too open for some.
Gun fighting minigame is out of place.
Voice-acting is mediocre.
Puzzles do little more than guide you through the game.
Shooting segments nothing more than a distraction.
