The only criticism I have is the snarky smirk-to-camera dialogue (at one point, during a tutorial, the main character literally says "ugh, you sound like a video game tutorial!!!" HA HA WINK WINK GET IT), but every other aspect of this game is brilliant from start to finish, art, sound, animation, gameplay, cat

I still think it would have been better if he was like a pokemon and every line by Norman Reedus was just him repeating "Norman Reedus"

Doom Eternal's better

They took a well crafted fast paced relatively linear shooter and turned it into a bullet sponge filled generic sandbox with arbitrary level distinctions. It's a pretty, and competently assembled generic sandbox, and I intend to finish it, but who wanted this? Who looked at the other games and said "You know what would make this better? If you couldn't hurt certain enemies because their number is higher than yours. Also, even IF their numbers aren't higher than yours, it still takes like an entire magazine of close range shotgun rounds to kill a dude."

The thing is I can UNDERSTAND the design decisions: the levelling is necessary so you don't just sprint through the entire sandbox. The armor is there to my your stealth kills/takedowns more valuable and to encourage you to switch up your weapons. But it just means everything is that much more tedious.

Oh, and this is a very minor nitpick but unless I missed it, I don't think it prompts you to choose a difficulty, and you have to hunt it down in the options menu yourself. This wouldn't mean much except between multiple lives, sister revivals, and the free self-healing abilities, the base game is WAY too easy, and with the spongy enemies means that most fights can be resolved by just standing in the open and trading bullets until the enemies eventually die before you do. Very tedious.

I would recommend replaying a runthrough of new colossus instead - even if it does mean you need to "play" that damn 20 minute opening cutscene again.

"It's actually very clever, well written, and fun," you'll plead to your friends, after the only thing they can remember was the ad campaign had the phrase "cocktits"

I haven't played this game in years yet it is still my most played game because it was very fun back before they stapled all the goofy crap to the walls

Revengeance is actually a word so please accept my apologies for my massive email campaign attempting to buy Hideo Kojima a dictionary

The fun local multiplayer game of telling your friend named "Jet" to turn on the radio

You know that feeling where you can spend hours meticulously working on a solution to a puzzle game only to find out at the very end that it won't work, and so you spend even more hours attempting to kludge it to work and then the entire thing becomes a mess but now you've invested all this time and you don't want to have to start from scratch? Well I have kidney stones

Hardcore BSDM simulator. Probably could use a stronger content rating, or at least a configurable safeword feature.
