Mechanically very much a product of its era in ways I both love and hate. I love the early 2000s era of 3rd person shooters from before they coalesced into the Resident Evil 4/Gears of War mold (Max Payne 3 lmao). One thing I appreciate particularly is the way the dodge roll and slow-mo dive force you into recovery rather than a simple fluid return to movement, a couple of heavy movement mechanics are generally good. I'm not so fond of this era of PC shooters where there are quicksaves rather than mid-level checkpoints, quicksaving every few encounters feels like cheating but the levels are too long to not wanna do that. Aesthetically this game also really does well with the winter atmosphere.
The game's story itself is rather cliche, but the presentation of that story is great. With all its exaggerated voice acting and live action cutscenes done by the dev team, it still presents itself seriously. Devs getting directly inserted into the game is something I really love honestly.
