Pros
Pro The first proper AAA game on Linux that was not a Valve title
Metro: Last Light was the first AA game released on Steam that was not a Valve title.
Pro Alternating gameplay
From mission to mission the game will alternate from action to slow and methodical, creating a nice pace for the player.
Pro Unique Style
Self described as an "afro-caribbean" vibe. With character faces that resemble tribal masks as well as the main characters sporting Caribbean accents there is no doubt the game was designed with black culture in mind.
Pro Quality presentation
The characters are 3D rendered on top of beautiful hand painted backgrounds with it all blending nicely to a very neatly finished look.
Pro Satisfying puzzles
The Journey Down offers challenging puzzles that give the user quite a bit of satisfaction when solved. Not that they are too difficult but just not that the game hands the answers to the player on a platter either.
Cons
Con You'll have to get the DLC if you expect to get more than 8 hours of gameplay out of it
There is only about 8 hours of gameplay in the base game.
Con Chapters are extremely short
Even though the game is broken up into separately purchasable chapters, each chapter is pretty short, even when considering all chapters combined the game in full will still be short.
