This game feels like it got frozen in time for a decade and some change and then just came out still. Like it was meant to release among the peak of 3rd person shooter action games for the late 00's or early 10's and just didn't. It's got everything down to the ultra-linear structure of the levels that won't even let you crawl back under the space you just went through and the awkward pre-rendered cinematics.

Really enjoyed this one for what it is. This game is so completely and utterly in love with how cool it thinks it is that it kinda comes back around to being cool.

Yeah man that shit rocks keep doing shit like this. Literally who cares about the borderline non-existent story. As long as you let me knock the teeth outa an whatever unfortunate creature comes in the way.

I think this one needed like, a few more months in the oven though because the last 4 or 5 missions run out of new enemies to throw at you and do the bad action game thing of throwing the kitchen sink of enemies at you with little consideration of how the encounter goes.

I'm in awe that the game did not have the main character talk to one of the many "booksmart" characters and hear them explain something in some sciency way before going "Give it to me in english doc"
