Visually, this game is amazing. I don't think anyone would say otherwise. There are a few pop-in moments and the draw distance isn't as big as I thought it would be but whatever, it's still "visually stunning".

Nothing innovative though as far as gameplay was concerned. It felt like I could be playing the same game on an old apple computer with 8-bit graphics and just have two frames of someone with shifty eyes if they're lying or something. And a giant 8-bit "thing" to walk over as a clue. And hell, selectable text where the choices pop up in 8-bit windows would have been an improvement over the shoot-in-the-dark truth/doubt/lie system where you never know what you're going to get or even how you're going to respond.

I dunno. It felt like a pig in make-up. Beautifully done, technology advancing, historically accurate, make-up though.
