On the one hand, some of the gameplay isn't as solid as it could be and the way it portrays trans identities isn't very good. Anti-capitalist themes are present, but lack much depth. Besides a couple of standout moments, it lacks any real punch in that regard

On the other, those stand out moments are really good and the central story between V and Johnny is absolutely spectacular. The writing shines whenever Keanu is on screen.

Also completing (Don't Fear) The Reaper was one of my favourite video game experiences ever

"And now, isn't it time to form yourself once again? Isn't it time to take that power of adaptation, and redirect it towards what you truly believe? [...] You can always become something new."

maybe you can resist the temptation of being free, but maybe you will end up in a loop of self-hatred, with the sparkle of questioning in your head, never, fully, becoming its own light. pretty ironic how nova really has to become unidimensional in order to see the full picture. it's all about navigating in your most, pure, intimate self and concluding that you shall fight the "destiny" put upon you, because the only one that know your real purpose is yourself.
