Was this game any good except for heating the house in winter?

I've seen it advertised no less than 50 times in the last several years but I've never met anyone who actually played it

I’ve played it! So player count >= 1.

Overall, a nice game. I tend to enjoy shorter, linear games over giant, open worlds so this was right up my alley. It is a decent puzzler with some meh combat to boot. Visuals are great, audio superb (use headphones!), and mildly challenging gameplay. I say meh combat because you really don’t do all that damage unless you have a "super" active, so it feels very much like your main weapons are paper until said super is ready.

It isn’t really an achievement hunting game, you’re mostly there for the psychosis-focused narrative and occasional boss battle. I definitely enjoyed this far more than Assassin’s Creed , but not quite as much Alien: Isolation.

For this price, I’d say worth a play. My play through was on Gamepass, so based on the number of games I play a month (2-3 all the way through), this is about the price I "paid".

Edit: I did start an original play through on PC at launch, but never finished due to university finals. I recently (6-ish months ago) saw it was on Gamepass so gave it another go.
