Played this when it originally released but got stuck in a quicksave death loop and abandoned it but finally came back so I could play Control.

Loved the story and all of the flavor around it. the manuscripts, the radio shows, the TV shows, all fantastic. Great cast and super engaging and was the main thing keeping me from dropping the game again.

Gameplay really wore thin and this is maybe the quintessential 360 era game of all time. Forced walk and talk segments, story beats undercut by having to walk backwards to pick up some mundane collectible, super simple gameplay loop stretched out 4 hours longer than it needed to be, unnecessary and boring vehicle segments, long "epic" holdout action segments, it's got it all.
