I've wrote too many long reviews. Let's do a simple one.
It's fine. It doesn't get a lot of things right and sometimes its more fun to fail than succeed just because of how wacky stuff can get. It was a cool idea but the execution wasn't all there.
It was too easy, I'm a dumbass and I got the best ending first try.

This is the best David Cage game.
It is also the most sexist David Cage game.
I got a laugh out of it as an uncritical teenager who liked to see how much of the game I could fail without affecting anything. Only every engage with this as a curiosity, a fascinating mess. Any expectations otherwise will just serve to disappoint you.

Again, a lot of the game doesn't work for me and doesn*t make sense. The rampant sexism that the female character has to go through is disgusting.
Who gets to flee from the serial killer? Who has to dance suggestively in a club? TWICE? Who dreams of a rapist attacking her while she's in her underwear? Who has sex for no reason with the protag? Who get's the shower scene?
One or two of these things are not a problem. All of them happening to the same character IS.
This game starts also the trend of "I know too much about David Cage's preferences than I want to" with our female protag having short hair and dressing casually. Wait for Beyond Two Souls and Detroit.
Elliot Page has at one point the same hairstyle and color and when he has to dress for his date the "sexy" dress option is a shirt and a T-Shirt. D:
In Detroit, Kara cuts her hair soon in the game and has the same style as Elliot Page and his Heavy Rain counterpart. You have the option to die the hair dark but you don't have to.
Thank god for small mercies. But I admit, she never wears a T-Shirt and Jeans. Whoever I have to thank for that: Thank you! ;)
I also found out who the killer is because of a shitty cutscene that made no sense. That's not exactly ideal. :/
