another convoluted and deliciously meta story from Remedy that is a blast to play.
the gameplay is well executed but pretty boilerplate, which is to be expected from them at this point, but the meat of the story is superb.

although the writing had a lot of memorable and beautiful moments, there was a minor annoyance for me in Saga and Alan frequently reiterating plot points. i get that it's meant to be a safeguard against the frustrations of a tangled and potentially vague story, but they overdid it a little

either way, a game that's great fun to play and a story that's great fun to untangle

also, kudos for the credits song <3 <3 <3
