At times, some of the best gameplay and story integration in the history of the medium; at others, the dissonance is so pronounced that it threatens to shatter the whole facade. But I thoroughly enjoyed both halves of the game’s tenuous yin-yang, and a part of me wonders whether I’m holding it to an unfairly high standard in light of its sky-high aspirations. In any case: glad to have finally caught up with this one. Highly recommend playing on Hard or higher (if you’re better at video games than me).
