The Path

The Good
I always refer to the game (and other games from this producer) as an interactive painting. Even if you didn't play it yourself, you will have to admit that it looks really awesome. I had a brand-new graphics card when I first played this and I had to upgrade again just to run it. The world is also not very repetitive and full of interesting things.

The character design is equally as awesome and they are also characterized amazingly well. The first game I played from this company was The Graveyard, so I did expect something, but not this much. Also it needs to be said: I love it how you learn more about them by finding objects and areas which they comment on.

The story is open for interpretation and because of that I will not go deeper into my own opinion as it may clash with yours. This is really a game that you shouldn't discuss as it is much more enjoyable when you just know your own version of it.

The game is very atmospheric and I just loved it. Everything from the music to the small visual details that showed up every now and then, it got me crying while playing this game. I know a masterpiece when I see it and this is one of them.

The Bad
The gameplay could have used a little polish. Most of the time you are looking for objects that get the story going and the easiest way to find them (as opposed to the incredibly annoying way) it to follow the girl in the white dress, but she always runs and if you run the camera slowly moves to a top-down perspective making it impossible to see the girl.

Even with GeForce 9500 GT this game still runs rather poorly.

The Bottom Line
This game is only for the people who love going to museums or a very story-heavy game (or a combination between the two, like me), but maybe some other people will like it as well. The game itself has one major flaw, but it redeems for that by been written incredibly well and having an unmatched presentation!
