Pros
Sort
-
Its spirit-possession premise and eccentric genre mixture stand out, even among players who dislike the execution.
-
Dense nighttime streets and an unusual, unsettling tone are frequent highlights, although some find the mood less effective than the premise suggests.
-
The neon city and grotesque monsters give the game a distinctive identity. Appreciation for its strange style often survives complaints about dated presentation.

Possession is the standout mechanic, letting players change bodies for traversal, investigation, and fighting. Its imaginative uses are more convincing than some of the systems built around it.

Possession creates inventive tactical and traversal possibilities, even if the surrounding action does not always fulfill their promise.

HDR presentation is praised for making the neon visuals pop, including on a handheld screen.

Absurd story turns and limb-loss moments can be amusing, adding an eccentric streak to the grim presentation.

Cons
Sort
-
The grotesque enemies look memorable, yet too many encounters recycle similar creatures and behaviors.

Enemies and civilians can behave mechanically, weakening both encounters and the illusion of a living city.

The relatively compact adventure suits players who want a focused game, although forced revisits make it feel stretched to others.

A few different activities break up the fighting, but the repeated chase-and-battle formula is a major complaint.
-
Switching among available bodies enables flexible approaches, though scripted investigations and small areas limit that freedom.
-
Camera positioning and targeting frequently interfere with hectic fights, especially in cramped spaces.

Partners can provide useful distractions, but passive or unreliable behavior often leaves too much work to the controlled character.

Citizens barely reacting to possession and a lack of meaningful city interaction make the setting feel less alive.

Body hopping makes traversal quick and enjoyable, while conventional movement and some rooftop maneuvers can feel stiff.
