Overall, a very strong effort from Remedy. I felt Control's writing was a bit better (ironic given the theme of this game), but this is a worthy follow-up in many respects. If there's one thing that really disappointed me though, it would be the lack of real reward for the side pursuits. For creating such a handed crafted world, I was baffled to find that there was little to no reason to seek out the remainder of the major collectibles in the game. At least two of the trails simply conclude with a large stash of resources. For a game with so much emphasis on writing and lore, I feel this was a missed opportunity to reward players who were interested in further immersion by providing additional story or teasers for future content. As is, they are largely only worth finding for the payout of each individual find.
