Only played 80 minutes yet but I do have to recommend, the amount of details, the atmosphere, the graphics, the voices, the sound, and the level design, it feels like Thief or more recently Gloomwood, as routes are concerned, which means you not only have choice, but this also implies verticality, and rediscovering the same area with another look after a while, finding keys now making shortcuts, being able to reach a place by climbing, or a more regular way. You are able to pick quite every object next to you, they often ( or always ? ) have two modes, for example you could beat someone with your gun if you got no ammo, and objects also come with damages, so you got both to manage ammunition and damages. You could use for instance an extinguisher the two ways. If you could set people on fire, you might also want to try the extinguisher on them for example. And there are objects you can't stock, meaning you have to keep them in hand or throw them, quite like big guns in Wolfenstein for example. It is very promising, I often like to wait before reviewing something, but everything on point right now. Even the price, when you see all the efforts put in. And having both what film noir implies in terms of storytelling, and freedom like in any immersive sim, is quite fantastic to me.
And I forgot to mention the vents. I love vents in video games. I didn't succeed right now but my aim was to drive their attention somewhere else, then sneak into some vents...
