This is an action game in which players assume the role of Jodie Holmes and her invisible companion “Aiden” through fifteen years of Jodie’s life. From a third-person perspective, players control Jodie through fully interactive environments, choosing a variety of action-, dialogue-, and decision-paths based on on-screen prompts. Some choices can lead to depictions of violence: Jodie attacking assailants with punches, kicks, and various objects (e.g., tree branches and knives; impaling an enemy with a pipe). As the character Aiden, players solve puzzles, manipulate objects and attack (e.g., strangulation) Jodie’s assailants. Players can also use Aiden to possess enemies and perform violent acts (e.g., shooting fellow SWAT members; crashing vehicles; performing self-inflicted gunshot wounds). Some of these sequences are accompanied by blood-splatter effects. In one cutscene, a bound character’s eye is cut out during an interrogation—the act is obscured by a character’s back. One prolonged bar sequence depicts three men attempting to rape a woman; players control Aiden and interact with objects to stop the assailants. Another sequence depicts a character propositioning a woman to perform fellatio. The game includes depictions of the central character drinking beer and smoking a marijuana in a party setting – screen distortion occurs during theses sequences. The words “f**k” and “sh*t” can be heard in the dialogue.
Experience the most striking moments throughout 15 years of Jodie’s life as she grows from a confused child into a crack CIA agent, and discovers who she really is. As she traverses the globe, Jodie will face incredible challenges set against a backdrop of emotionally-charged events never before seen in a video game. Create your own personal journey as your decisions and actions shape the course of the story.

My favorite game of all time other than Fallout 4 (and it’s DLC) and The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim (and it’s DLC).
gripping story line
nice graphics
a "walking simulator" at times
needs more game mechanics
After watching a few cut scenes and realizing the game play is like 60%ish quick time events I was like, “what the feck have I just spent 20 bucks on” but I gave it the benefit of the doubt and carried on for a bit, I am glad I did.
I have all ways been a bit of a sucker for a lead female role with supernatural powers but the story line really did captivate me.
Not giving the story line away here, but hope you have a look for your self . I was emotionally stimulated by it, which other than getting fired up is rare for me it a game.
Conclusion: Best story line i have seen for a while, its open my mind in regards to what can drive a game and keep you playing on.
