Very fun and well written and atmospheric, but man that shooting feels so heavy and sluggish, and maps are not fun to slowly walk through back and forth as you complete your objectives. The imps were almost completely useless for me, they either got killed immediately when I needed help, or blocked the way, or in the case of the gunner, shot me in the back or just shot the wall next to me.

The good though, the Darkness and Jackie are performed brilliantly, and the story is genuinely pretty good for a shooter. The game has a lot of surprises I did not expect. I am always a fan of an actual dial-able phone in games (like Silent Hill Shattered Memories) and I thought the little things they did with the subway and taking the train and asking for directions, and following signs made the world feel more alive. Shame that when you get above ground, there is not really much to interact with.

I know some of my issues with shooting and general combat get improved in the 2nd game, but I think I remember that the city is not as interesting to interact with and unfortunately I do remember that the game is very short. A shame we will probably never have the third game to cap off the story of Jackie. Jackie and Adam Jensen are peas in a pod that way, I suppose.

Finally, yes I did watch all of To Kill a Mockingbird in Jenny's apartment. She fell asleep before the opening credits even ended. Talk about a terrible film-watching partner.
