Why It Rocks

 * 1) Great atmosphere for a game set during the calamities of the 14th century.
 * 2) Interesting plot about a single family trying to deal with problems that get insurmountably worse with some dark twists.
 * 3) *The idea of a plot where the main characters are someone and his sister/brother is something rare in stories, specially in gaming.
 * 4) Stunning visuals with polished animations, environments, textures, character designs, etc.
 * 5) Amicia can kill enemies with her sling through a headshot or stun them so that the rats can eliminate them.
 * 6) RATS!! And that's not the amazing part; they act as the central part of the story and can sometimes help the player in some situations.
 * 7) Players can craft ammunition and supplies that will help them in their adventure.
 * 8) Gameplay boils down to exploration, puzzle-solving and survival with stealth mechanics.
 * 9) Later on, Hugo can control the rats and sneak through small places, but he cannot craft items.

Bad Qualities

 * 1) Short campaign, it takes about 10 to 12 hours depending on the play style.
 * 2) The puzzles are as basic as the game can offer despite its functionality.
 * 3) The stealth sections can be passed on easily, sometimes making it feel redundant.
