Run and gun in it's purest form.
I played on Ultra nightmare and whoa it made me sweaty both in a good way and in a bad way because I can certainly say it was an unbalanced campaign.
You have lots of weapons and alternate fires, lots of enemies and optional unlockables as well!
But for some reason difficulty rise is unbalanced. The middle point level Argent Tower managed to kill me too many times to count(also it's platforming part at the top sucked hard) But after that it was a smooth sailing to the point too easy until the finale mission for some reason.
Also checkpoints sucks. Why not do checkpoints at the start of a fight rather than before entrance door? I really don't get it. It just results dead time with watching the same door opening animation again and again...
Not just that if you decide to explore and die with falling down, enjoy watching the same door/lever/cutscene animations again and again. Checkpoints sucks so hard that I can't give you it's feeling enough.
But like I said it's combat adrenaline rush is really addicting as well! Not just that optional rooms to find and collect upgrades makes exploration fun as well! So I am conflicted.
I guess I will cautiously recommend this, because while the combat is pretty good, combat loop starts repeating a lot in the last quarter because game stops introducing new things and reuse a lot, also it's movement feels a bit limiting, you move not that fast and at times makes you wish for a dash move. Also like I said it's unbalanced nature and aggravating checkpoints unfortunately made the game old for me.
Btw it's grenades hecking glitchy as well. If you throw them and then use your pistol, your gun gets stuck and unable to fire for some reason. This bug happened to me two times and both of them in major areas and I needed to reload to solve that, so this problem really soured my enjoyment at times.
So this is my verdict. It's a good beginning but needs to fix it's small issues because even if you think I am nitpicking, in this full combat focused game they bother me more than a open world game could when you just want to live the adrenaline to the fullest. So that's why It wasn't perfect for me.
