Beautiful game. Counting this as both the base and DLC, as that’s what the Director’s Cut entails. I had no idea this was so long but it ruled. Slow to start, but the payoff was amazing. Story was cliche yet so well executed and acted that it nailed it. I ended up really attached to the cast and their stories. DLC was a beautiful epilogue and a lot of fun extra content clearly more designed around the PS5’s haptics. In an era where games which opt for a realism artstyle often don’t shoot for bright colors, it’s refreshing to see them here. Great game, except the third area of the base game is significantly shorter and less varied in terrain and visuals. It’s just much less interesting and I suppose is a consequence of creating an open world game where progress is also gated at times.
