So I'm not one to jump on the bandwagon a lot of people have when it comes to games journalists, but I do have to single out the IGN review of this game for a minute here. In the review, they point out how new companion Bode starts off generically but eventually gets fleshed out more and becomes more interesting and that is hilarious to me. Truly, I cannot imagine a deeper and more nuanced character arc than going from "I am generic dad character who will do anything to protect my daughter" to "I am generic dad character who will do anything to protect my daughter, but now I have a red lightsaber." What a bland, nonsensical heel turn that sent this game's story hurtling off of a cliff.

That being said, this game lets you use your blaster to parry enemies and essentially play Bloodborne in space, so it's impossible for me to hate it.
