Pros:
  • Really cool aesthetic
  • Great soundtrack
  • The titans are varied and interesting
  • The open world is a good size with plenty of different landmarks so it feels like a believable place.
Cons:
  • The voice acting is awkward
  • Gameplay can be a bit tedious at times
  • Vehicle controls feel off

This seems like it should be a tense action or horror game but it's actually very chilled, with an excellent soundtrack of tunes to listen to as you drive through the night in search of the titular titans.

Graphically it's not amazingly detailed but it makes up for that with style through its great use of lighting and a soft colour palette of greens, blues, purples, pinks and yellows. The game does a great job with the titans, understanding the golden rule of never letting you see the monsters too clearly.

The enjoyment is dampened slightly by some pretty poor voice acting - I would guess that neither the writer nor voice actor has English as a first language so I don't want to be too harsh, but the awkward grammar mistakes are a bit immersion breaking given that the character is meant to have grown up in the area. This isn't helped by the fact that the voice lines repeat if you perform the same action / go to the same place on a subsequent day, e.g. the first time getting into the car at the start of each day will always trigger the same line and awkward joke about hoping there's booze left in it. It would really help if the game kept track of which lines had already been said and didn't trigger them again.

The gameplay can also be a bit tedious - without going into too much detail, the first titan must be led from one location to another by activating a series of points and this takes quite a while and isn't particularly interesting. On top of that, activating one wrong point sends the titan right back to the beginning and you have to start again.

Overall I'd recommend it because it's a unique idea and the overall atmosphere makes up for minor annoyances.
