Class B: Entertaining

+ The graphics are absolutely insane. I think this is the first game where I really witnessed what UE5 is capable of. The lightning, the puddles, it looks truly breathtaking.
+ The beginning was not very captivating, but the game became a lot more engaging and consistent a few chapters in. Stay through the beginning if you're struggling!
- I want to arrest whoever made mouse controls for this game. The game has mouse smoothing that you cannot turn off, and although I managed to get rid of it after tinkering with .ini files, the mouse is still a lot less responsive than in other games. So much that my hand needs to constantly correct and readjust my movements to aim well. This is inexcusable for a game where shooting makes the majority of gameplay.
- Although the game ran smoothly on 4060Ti with 1080p@60fps, it crashes often (mostly after a mission end or if you alt-tab accidentally). Vsync also doesn't seem to fix screen tearing, as there was roughly the same amount of it regardless of whether it is off or on.
- The animations are...so-so. They definitely clash in comparison with the ultra-realistic environments, to the point where sometimes Robocop seems the most lifelike one.

Still, my hand doesn't dare give 3/5 for this one. In the end, it was a solid, well-done experience, helped immensely by satisfying splatter and insane visuals.
