God this games story is genuenly wonderful and might be a contender for the best in the series, but so much of this game is annoying to play through.

Big Shell as a location isn't a fun base to go through, a lot of the setpieces are at best kinda irritating, at worst: Emma, and the bosses leave a lot to be desired. I am comfortable never PLAYING this game again, but god this narrative, themes and characters are excellent and I'll be thinking about it for the rest of my life.
