This is an immaculate FPS game. I love it. I like it more than Doom Eternal, Dusk, Ion Maiden, or even Titanfall 2.
The random weapon drops, the random skills they could have, and just the sheer variety of weapons (80+!) always had me wanting to try new things out, and the weapon roster stayed fresh for me even until the end of Episode 3. The grapple hook you get in Episode 2, which then gets upgraded in Episode 3, was such a great addition, and you can really zip around at high speed like Spider-Man in the more open levels, I love it. The music and sound design kick all kinds of ass too.
Levels are randomly generated but they follow a setting/theme with a pool of enemies and rooms that are clearly crafted and then stitched together at random. And despite the random level generation, when it came to puzzles/keys and progressing, I never once got trapped or soft-locked in a level. This is randomization done with care and it shows. I also really enjoyed the secret hunting; I was always on the lookout for a cracked wall to kick down. Yes, there is NO wall-humping for finding secrets, thank goodness.
I think I'm just starting to ramble now, I could talk endlessly about how cool this game is, and how good the enemy designs are, and the mini-games you play to get character upgrades, and exploring the hospital, and- and- and-
I just absolutely fucking adore this game.
