For a game described as "mind-blowing" the review, if you can call it that, is pretty slim. I've no idea what it is the player controls or how the player interacts with...everything. Is it repayable (probably), does it end? Why is the animation so wacky? The report card for this review would be "could try harder".
I played this game back in the day and I remember chuckling a fair bit I used to sit around with a couple of friends and nut-out the puzzles together. This time around I really struggled with the humour and the sometimes long stretches of dialogue that were a tad painful. Point and click mapped to a controller, no I don't think it works. I shouldn't complain; I downloaded the game while it was "free" on PS+ but for me, this is one example of nostalgia being best left in the past.
I played this game a LOT on the PC (200+ hours), a bit of an average PC too so the PS4 version looks much better and the transition from keyboard to controller is brilliant. I've probably played only about 14 hours on the PS4 and haven't encountered any of the technical issues I've seen mentioned above and elsewhere - with the exception of some flickering during the Faceless transformation. A recent patch allows for the setting of movement waypoints which is an excellent addition; you can now go around fires!

Re: Sony Is Finally Killing Off the PS3 in Japan
@Imagremlin I might grab a cheapie, EB Games are loaded with super cheap second hand games.

I've got no idea who he is... I'm not that keen on finding out either.
