The verdict
A charming, cinematic PS3-era post-apocalyptic adventure carried by its characters, voice acting and visuals, but with shallow linear gameplay and a bad camera. Skip it if you want deep combat.
Great for
Players who enjoy linear, cinematic story adventures and PS3/360-era games, ideally bought on sale
Main risk
Repetitive, on-rails combat and platforming with a frustrating camera and a clunky PC port
