For its price, it's an absolute bargain. Cradle has a very interesting and unique sci-fi story. The environments have an absolutely spectacular level of detail, providing you with more (optional) information about the setting than you'll be able to digest in one sitting. And while there are only a few characters, they have enough variety and character development to keep you engaged.

There are a few annoyances in Cradle that you should be aware of: The FOV is quite low and not configurable, mouse input has a weird smoothing applied to it and the first hour of the game is spent in a cramped indoor environment. If you get motion sickness easily from games, the first hour of gameplay will be pretty bad for you. Not as bad as Deus Ex: Human Revolution, but still noticeably bad. After you leave the indoor environment, it becomes a lot easier to deal with.

This game is about 4 hours long, but it has a satisfying ending and doesn't drag out any longer than it should. I'd say it's worth every penny.
