A fair bit better than The Struggle, but still feels like an overall shrug. That little song is nice even if it is just a short loop, there's some surprisingly dark dialogue in here, and I really like the dynamic of light and dark Natalia (even if it still does next to nothing to make this character... a character). Yet there's still no regular difficulty (??) leading to a stark imbalance between what you're left with - and most of everything else in it feels chintzy. Also I'm sorry but the stealth in this game was never a huge selling point for me to begin with. Wish this entire episode had the offbeat, gorgeous vigor of its excellent opening and closing cinematics.
