this is a technical MARVEL, a genuine tour de force of ingenuity and aesthetic inspiration, the fact that it came out a single year after its predecessor blows my mind!! the cinematic ambition here is off the charts, you soar through environments with a sense of scale that's near unmatched in this era, and in anamorphic 16:9 to boot

they went off here and i'm tempted to say it's the series' true hidden gem since the equally excellent saga is so much more discussed, what a cool game!!
