Played this with @UrThirdCousin, and had a blast. I've been a fan of this series since the second game came out, and I got to introduce him to it as well as play alongside him. Also playing as Strife was long overdue. The top down perspective is a breath of fresh air for the series, and I wouldn't be upset with other spinoffs done the same way. I'm still waiting on a solo Strife game, and I will not give up hope.
