Gameplay remains just as sharp as it was in the first two games, if not sharper. Movement is fantastic and combat is snappy and fun. The MJ sections were improved tenfold by giving her a weapon. I love this games gameplay in many ways, but it does a lot worse than in the first game. Puzzles and side content are much worse than in the original. Puzzles are even more adamant and even less interesting. The parry mechanic simply didnt work for me. Combat arenas aren't designed as well. A lot of little things hurt this game a lot. The vibe from the first game feels less present and less special, and the plot is so much worse. Writing in this game is poor, and sometimes embarrassing. I've never been a fan of the Venom plot, and this is no exception.
I wanted this to be a comprehensive and capable way to experience the album, but in search of non-linearity that serves a museum-like feel, it abandons the ability for the player to really experience the album. However, when the game takes control and has you really listen to the music and see the gorgeous visuals, it really shines, (How to Disappear Completely Comes to Mind)
