This really feels like the final breath for the type of linear shooter you'd see in the 360/PS3 generation, warts and all. I miss that type of game, even though playing this reminded me why we moved on from that style. Despite cutting itself short, I was still very invested in this world and quite enjoyed the gunplay. Also I feel like this has a more interesting interpretation of cinematic language than, say, Uncharted, but then the game throws incredibly video game-y bullshit at you like QTEs and hacking minigames and the inherent contradictions of movie-games like this become blinding.

Fascinating disaster. Hard to love but I can't help but appreciate this game's baffling decisions.
