"war isn't what it used to be."

bangerrrrr. a masterful combination of narrative and gameplay. gives the player the illusion of choice through it's freeform mechanics. it never feels like it's holding your hand (apart from the lore dumps). i was following the moment to moment plot pretty well but everything surrounding the story was a bit lost on me. there is a lot of dialogue in this game!! it can be easy to forget about what's going on but i think it ties everything together really well. the entire ending sequence is masterful. there were some gameplay sections that were overly frustrating but they're far enough apart to not break up the action too much. couldn't be more excited to dive into the rest of the series.
