* Edit: It's a bit buggy. Be prepared to restart a few areas from scratch due to crashes or freezes (at least, on the PS version).
Ignore the terrible dialogue (especially the 'self aware' nonsense) and bad acting, and there's a really amazing game here.
The world is a creepy, surreal, dystopia, and the intrigue stems from both political intrigue and whatever strange, possibly alien thing that happened to the world. It doesn't take the plot long to dive right in. Visuals are great too.
And the same goes for gameplay. At first, it seems just like any other turn-based, small team tactical game. But they quickly introduce a couple of skills and abilities that make the most of it. And the , as if it's not getting good enough by then, they introduce an optional stealth element. That combines so well with the tactics (eg. Taking out a couple of guards off to one side before setting up the rest in an ambush, etc).
Really a tonne of fun, and a tonne of mystery all wrapped into one.
