From a gameplay perspective it's rather clunky. The knight sequences are some much needed action but it doesn't feel as satisfying as it could. The stranger sequences don't feel smooth, a little slow, and the little girl is painfully slow to the point of annoyance. I really wasn't into this game for the first half hour but then the story gripped me. Along with the graphics and atmosphere, the story actually is emotional and full of lots of memorable imagery and moments.
