Amazing game with potential to become the next great series.
As a whole, I really enjoyed playing the game. I played it on the easy settings and found it an enjoyable mix between storytelling and action. The hardest part was the final boss and even then it only took me three tries to win.
CONTROLS
There were some control issues where I would try to jump from a rock face to a ledge and end up jettisoning myself into the air where I fell to my death. Also the dodge and counter attack sequences played a bigger part in the game-play than you might expect so I would recommend practicing until it becomes instinct.
STORY LINE
The storyline is definitely unique for the genre. The game makers were able to make a coming-to-age story interesting and enjoyable. I was able to see the growth of Laura from a naive girl to "a survivor" without feeling like it was thrown in my face.
