After 4 months of fucking ... no games, I beat one, let me tell you about it.
BRC made me feel ecstatic at it's highest highs, when I was dodging cops left and right, listening to 'DA PEOPLE' while battling the crew, who's territory I'm about to snitch through graffiti and street dancing.
When it's not that at these highs though... it's a pretty solid exploration game with great music and traversal that isn't really deep, but fun and second nature after an hour. Combat is pretty bland, but beating up cops is fun. I'm so glad combat really isn't a huge component of this game though and every single boss-fight is more mechanically 'challenging' instead of making you use your 3 attack buttons, that basically give you no feedback whatsoever on hit. It's not hard at all though, once you know how to keep your combo going for literally ever, which I'm super into don't get me wrong. I liked myself some THPS, but tbh not having to deal with all this extra shit just while traversing an area has something cathartic with the focus more on looking and feeling cool.
This was a lot of fun all the way through and is definitely something I will boot up again whenever I want to relax and listen to an audio book or podcast.
