If you are a graphics junkie move along now.  If you need constant action on the screen, once again go on to the next game.  The only other negative is the camera sometimes get in the way but other than a couple of boss battles the enemies don't pose much of a threat so it isn't a deal breaking flaw.  The flaws above are real and you should be aware of them before buying so they don't ruin the experience for you but to me they are well worth dealing with in order to experience one of the most original and well thought out stories of it's kind.  The developers did a great job of leaving you with another question as soon as they answered a previous one and making you want to find out what happens next and it kept me guessing a lot throughout and always playing an hour or two longer than I should have.  The couple of true bosses you face are tough but fair with the exception of  one where the camera really did bother me(there may be a better way to approach than what I did so you may not have that trouble.)  As mentioned there are several aspects of the game that are similar to RE4 and GTA but I also found myself comparing it to another Giantbomb favorite Persona 4 because you alternate between investigating and basicallly clearing a dungeon.  If you like survival horror or a good story driven game you really owe it to yourself to try this game.
