The game starts so well and falls off just as fast. The gameplay barely passes as 'enjoyable' if you ignore how clunky the controls and QTE's can be, though you get to murder Somalians for a whole chapter which is nice because killing animals isn't something you get to do too often in video games. The story has little to complain about either, at least for a one time playthrough, Aiden can be a real bro and that one token black dude is pretty chill.

For the cons...where do I start? This game feels like it was made by a humiliation fetish having cuckold. Nearly every encounter you have with any character leads to them kicking you in the shins and then spitting on you. That could fit fine and dandy in an actual well written story but no, that's literally all there is to it. You meet someone, they are nice except oops they're not and now you have to sit and listen to 10 second snippet of Ellen Page crying on repeat until you proceed. How does the game remedy this? They throw you some dialogue options to be more "distant" but ultimately you're on some thick train tracks and you're going to get to know someone whether you wanted to or not.
At this point I'm too unbothered to say much more so I'll just add that this game forces a relationship on you (mid teens - early 20's female) by a dude 10 or so years your senior who, among other things, lies to you; resulting in you killing many (presumably) innocent ""people."" The main character is obviously upset by this and NO MATTER how many times you reject his advances you WILL still "fall in love" and get kissed multiple times while you are unconscious. Also another huge gripe of mine is that Aiden is somehow immensely overpowered and also insanely useless A LOT of the time. Some may say "b-but they explained it because he's weak when she's weak!" or some other ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ reason, when in actuality it's just beyond lazy story writing.

Long story short: game is mid. Beyond mid if you will. If you can play this coop so you and a friend can laugh at how trashy this game can get then that's where I'd make a recommendation but if not just watch a youtube playthrough
