I wish the execution was a touch stronger but the concept is so cool. You really get to see budget and the northlight engine grow here and the ambition is admirable. Having a tv show watch between chapters is really cool even if you have to have a good internet connection which is kinda lame if the servers ever go down. It's got the Xbox one isms that plaque it a little. Cutscenes and some anims are at 30 and the forced walkies are pretty lame. Also picking up flavour text notes and emails oddly feels clunky and slow? Combat can be very cool but takes a little while to get the hang of even with all the unique remedy abilities. Unfortunately it lacks a bit of that gameplay juice tho as the live action cutscenes and game cutsces would've served enough story to gameplay ratio but unfortunately the levels can feel very brakes on in terms of playing anything. There's cool in game story telling and there's a lot of "follow character and talk" sequences that definitely kill a lot of fun for me and all replay value. Wish this got a sequel tho and worth a playthrough still for the experience of this games set pieces which are astronomically unique and awesome to this games credit.
Also Lance Reddick is fucking cool
