Mostly a standard shooter with decent tracking. Gets wonky at points, which is annoying, given that you can die pretty easily on normal difficulty.
The area where the game shines is its set pieces; extravagant run and gun montages that lead to you jumping to your certain death, glass and debris hailing all around. Truly exciting and immersive moments. Your mileage may vary, depending on your ability to role play as a smarmy Brit with the grip strength of Nathan Drake.
I don’t think this game gets enough credit for its attention to detail to how the world reacts to your shots. I was having so much fun just seeing what would react. For instance you ride an elevator during one of the game’s chapters and some elevator music is playing. You can actually shoot the elevator’s speaker box and break it, causing the music to fade out. The greatest reactivity came from the final confrontation with the game’s villain. You can shoot him all over his body and he will react completely differently. I tried his head (instant death), shoulder, leg, stomach (instant death), and crotch. He has different voiced lines too for the locations I tried. It’s really cool and hilarious!
Similarly they have some fun easter eggs you can interact with that function based on the built in microphone. Some items I found were a cigar, numerous vape pens, and a whistle. I love when games include these small diversions. Makes the game more immersive.
As far the story goes, it’s unfortunately in one ear out the other. I did enjoy the voice acting though. Especially the gravelly-voiced bad guy. It feels like a show/movie you’d see on Crackle.
