It's all just so unrelentingly French. If I have to watch that man wiggle his head Frenchly one more time I'm not letting him dodge or parry for the rest of the game.

It is very French. I am also a firm believer of if you don't jive with "the new hot thing" you shouldn't force it on yourself. However, and this may be my ignorance to French story telling (they fell of after Chrétien de Troyes), but I cannot think of another story like it that deals with the themes it does.

That's about all I can say, and I am sorry for word salad, coffee still kicking in

Honestly it crashed about 30 seconds after I gained control and started fiddling with steam controller settings, so I can't comment on anything more than the opening cinematic, but the other guy said you get to beat up a mime so I can probably tolerate the frenchness.

It cools down the Frenchness a bit as you get further in. Characters still say shit like "Mon ami" and putain and merde but whatever

Swearing in french is like saying "heck" or "dang", it doesn't count
