+ One of the most entertainingly ridiculous narratives I've ever played, with multiple standout moments that are up amongst some of the greatest set-pieces in video game history.
+ The dual stories of Saga and Alan intertwine really nicely, while still feeling separate both tonally and from a gameplay perspective.
+ A stunning game to look at and listen to - beautiful environments and lighting, seamless implementation of live-action footage, and top class voice and physical performances from all the actors involved.
- As ambitious as the story is, there are times where the writing feels a little bit convoluted and nonsensical, and while I will absolutely play the next entry in this universe (whatever that may be), the open-ended nature of the conclusion is a little frustrating.
- Occasional frustrating gameplay moments where the survival horror nature of the combat feels unfair due to bullet-sponge enemies.
