Steve Henefin's music is of course wonderful, although I felt like it barely got its chance to shine. I'd love to see a soundtrack release like the masterfully crafted Eternal Darkness music CD, which, rather than just stacking up all the in-game music tracks one after the other, blended them all together into an extended, polished, highly listenable whole.
And just so I can reference Eternal Darkness one more time, let me say that the game's "cyberspace" sections are as close as Too Human comes to re-creating that same vibe. Every now and then, you'll enter cyberspace, which is described as being a virtual representation of what the world used to look like. It used to have trees, mountains, and bodies of water -- in short, a verdant paradise. (Now it's just buildings, darkness, and robots and stuff.)
Although your first trip into cyberspace introduces some very light puzzle elements, these drop out quickly, and trips into the trees are primarily for storytelling and item collection -- some of the best items in the game are tucked away in here. But it's wandering in the chilly silence of cyberspace that I started to get that eerie feeling of meddling in affairs I didn't belong in, of some grander story behind the scenes that I was just a puppet in.
And it's clear that something sinister is going on, but Too Human doesn't even begin to address it. Just as the story is ramping up and we get a big revelation about Baldur, the game's over. I was genuinely shocked when the credit roll began, as I felt sure there was so much more left, and I was just truly getting to grips with the combat and had some nice new armor and items that I had spent a bunch of cash to craft.
It's ironic, considering that one of my favorite "sanity effect" tricks that (ahem) Eternal Darkness pulls on you is when the game suddenly stops after a few hours and you see a message that reads something like "Thank you for playing! Continue your adventure in Eternal Darkness 2, coming soon." Five years later, Too Human does the same thing -- except seriously. :lol
