Really wish this game was better than I found it to be. Great graphical fidelity and basic SSD load time tricks don’t elevate it as high as other great games released in 2023.

Gameplay on hard is serviceable, I wasn't expecting anything revolutuonary. In short, combat is there to break up story beats and is entirely forgettable besides a few striking vistas.

We experience the peak of Alan's story early on and its a scenario of which its concept is a repurposed highlight from
Remedy's previous title, Control.
