LockeProposal's Big Day Out

+ Many paths and ways to play through a given level+ Uses Unreal Engine 3, so you know it's very well-optimized; played smoothly from start to finish without being demanding on my hardware+ Myriad extras and collectibles; both practical (Runes/Bone Charms) and aesthetics (Books/Notes)+ Steampunk design was very well-presented, and wasn't too over the top+ Tons of lore-friendly material that helped to flesh-out the universe+ Environmental set-pieces were fantastic to look at, particularly along the coast+ Extremely short load-times+ Multiple endings, depending on how much chaos you cause throught the game+ Gameplay was solid and enjoyable; "powers" worked seamlessly with stealth mechanics- Poor textures on closer inspection- Predictable, uninspired plot; not terrible, but there are no surprises- Virtually no character development- Despite having a great cast, the voice-acting felt strained and unconvincing- Your powers are given to you, seemingly randomly and for no good reason; the reasoning behind this was poorly explained, lazily delivered, and offered nothing to the story whatsoever outside of gameplay mechanics
