I know this is getting a reevaluation from fans and a lot of people enjoy this game, but personally this was a painful experiance for me. The combat is fun, but the game around it fucking sucks (rimshot.wav) due to how boring as sin the level design is. The entire game is you walking down a bunch of hallways were you encounter different enemies.......and that's it! That is the entire game in a nutshell. The total absence of variety just killed my enjoyment for this game, and it doesn't help that the story in this game, while not nearly as lacking, does very little to make up for it. This is an 8-9 hour game, right? Well there is less 1 hour's worth of cutscenes. You can view all the cutscenes in this game in one Youtube video that lasts around 40 minutes. I'm not saying I want half of this game to be cutscenes, but I would have liked something a little more substantial than this underdeveloped platitude where a guy is on a mission to get revenge of another guy for the death of a loved one. It's not awful, just completely uninspired (apart from some convoluted nonsense thrown in at the end because why the hell not). And that pretty much sums up my thoughts on this game overall - not awful, just uninspired.
