This game often falls into the 'so bad its good' category for me. Something about it just feels off, with the voice acting, the setting, it feels false. Nobody really feels like an actual human. But it's very entertaining in that way. Press X to Jason is kind of the symbol of that, it's just not quite right, but it's entertaining because of that.

That said, I do think the trials Ethan goes through are genuinely good, no irony. Driving through traffic, cutting his finger, killing that guy. It's intense and really well directed. The choice based system is fun to play with, and offers genuine consequence. It's just a shame how off a lot of the characters and story beats feel. Well, kind of a shame, kind of amazing.
