This has to be one of the best remakes/remasters/etc in terms of overall game feel and ambiance. There's still some janky animations and voice acting at times for sure, but other times cutscenes look great. It very much feels like an early 2000s game given a fresh coat of paint rather than trying to reinvent the wheel (or a lazy cash grab for that matter) which is really nice.

I wouldn't say there's anything all that surprising if you're already into these kinds of stories, but it's a well executed one with some fantastic action set pieces. Chapter 9 was especially phenomenal with the mood and atmosphere as you slowly unravel what's going on. I also just finished watching Boardwalk Empire somewhat recently so being in that mood really furthered my enjoyment even more and it was great to get into another prohibition-era narrative like this.
