I can appreciate it, but I just don't enjoy it...

I wanted to like it. The acting and facial animation tech are class leading. The design and feel of the era are well done..... but I just don't enjoy it!
the shooting is just sub-Mass Effect/Gears and the clue searching etc is just boring and a bit hit and miss. The interrogation parts are just contrived and again a bit hit and miss. Sometimes you think your reply will mean one thing and it actually means another and if you get it wrong you just get another go so there's no real feeling of weight behind the decisions.

I usually complete every game I start before moving on to play the next game but I just found myself wanting to play something else and it became a chore so I only got about half way through....figured the game may get a bit better as it goes on but it's not going to fundimentally change so....

I realise I am in the minority as most people have enjoyed it but it left me cold.

Graphics - Really good overall, with outstanding facial animations. Pretty detailed and well resolved given the size of the world you are free to wander
Sound - Again, voice acting is some of the best ever.

Overall - Impressive technical acheivment but just doesn't work for me
