honestly not as jank as i expected. as someone who is a huge fan of miserable art, i really enjoyed both the story and the presentation. stylistically speaking, this is one of the most striking games i've ever played. the environments you traverse, especially ones dotted with bright signage and flashing lights, are beautifully distorted by the "lens" of the camera. i know the camera shake when running is controversial, but i really do like it. honestly, i really like the ending, too. there is no real closure and we don't get to know what happens to kane or lynch. it just ends. the soundtrack and voice acting are also phenomenal.

In all honesty, this game stylish direction (if that is even a category) is fantastic, bold and original. Not to mention the setting of Shangai. Everything adds to this misserable ugly experience games don't even dare to try nowdays, all polished and pretty but nothing special beyond that. A direct contrast might be Max Payne 3.
Love what they tried with this one, but the game outside of that, it's a not a fun game to play. I do think is worth a second playthrough. The voice acting is awesome as well.
