The Catholic age where Vampires And Wolfman are a big threat to the society!
This game have really fantastic graphics. Also really fun to use weapons as well. But unfortunately it's a really problematic game. Because, it doesn't let me use them...
Why? Because they made the graphics a bit too realistic so they had to shoehorn in a lot of walking and quick time event sections.
This is not the only problem unfortunately, this game have a really interesting world that you want to know more about. But story doesn't take advantage from it.
Story is just a, I do what order given to me, but whaaat? There is actually a lot of lies in that order. Let me find the truth, but must not tell this to my friends so they can be my enemy for some hell reason cliche writing. Also game ends without any conclusion... Kind of upsetting tbh, because I really really like the world. Also I feel like this story could work better as a rpg rather than tps shooter. Why? Because interacting with the world sounds awesome rather than cliche shooting everyone gameplay.
Btw game constantly tells to you that there are both sides to this story. But it just doesn't care to show it, also main character is just a angry dude that can't stop himself until becomes too late, so he keeps killing unnecessary amount of people from both sides even when he is supposed to be "stealthy" for finding the truth without hurting anyone "unnecessarily" in second half of the game, but he kills them anyway.
I feel like that takes away from the supposed grey characters that game tries to convey, rather than killing everybody, incapacitate option would make things more fit in especially for the second half of the story in my opinion. The last of us 2 had this problem as well with not giving a no kill option, but I think tlou2 did this better because it actually there to support it's own message of "hate", because it's there to show that no needless killing goes unpunished. It wasn't perfect of course and it's problem with focus and bad pacing takes away a bit from it's message, but at least it made sure to show both sides to you.
What I mean is this story doesn't take any risk and turn into a grumpy angry shooter at the end and waste any of the potential this world has.
It's just a lot of action with no substance to stand on and that's a damn shame
