got a bit tedious during the first seattle section (hence why i stopped it for so long) but once i came around 2 the fact that the exhaustion is symptomatic of cyclic trauma i just fell in love. the best usage of violence to create a detestation of what yr enacting. also super smooth gameplay (listen mode is great, stealth, shooting, etc.) and gorgeous visuals, specifically the fire. not a 5 bagger simply because of the repetition inherent to the way the story is framed — even tho it’s narratively crucial it just doesn’t make for the best playing experience.
