Been playing the game for a bit, and I'm enjoying it. One feature I stumbled across is how sound is treated between the main character and the rest of the world. If you turn off the tv display and turn it back on, the game will leave Death's sounds on the gamepad, along with his horse's. Even cut-scenes are treated this way.
What I like about this is the effect creates a more effective atmosphere. It brings the action of the game closer. I don't know if this info will influence anyone's decision on getting the game, but it does seem a unique feature.
