Played through the story on easy in widescreen 518 * 448i. It can run from 60 to 15 fps but on average, it is mostly 30 locked although you will see it go up and down. Now that the technical stuff is out of the way, I really liked this game a lot. I really like the new shooting mechanics which is basically, a regular old FPS and not the goldeneye style. I like the weapon variety. The game feels more AAA (it is published by EA). The time stuff is played like Tenet where a future version helps out a past version. One key moment is in a future version where there is 4 of you, two shooting, two hacking. The levels feel much more distinct. There are cutscenes connecting everything as well. You no longer inhibit someone's body like 1. Also weird thing to have the lab assistant flirting with this guy right after he comes after loving his love interest in 2. The story does pick up right after 2. The levels are much more linear and you do not need to return to spawn point, nor locate the time wormhole. The boss fights are better too. The general UI is intuitive as well. Set pieces are suitably set piece like. The story is fine and probably the best of the bunch. It can have a lot of 2000s misogynic humour but there are some actually funny dialogues as well. The levels separate themselves well. The train level, the horror themed one, the future ones with robots and tanks are all very fascinating. Just a joy to go through this campaign.
