It’s not that bad, but it’s certainly not great, it’s more average than anything. The game looks stunning for its time and the seamless transition between cutscenes and gameplay is some of the best I’ve seen. The gunplay is very fluid, the crown jewel of the experience and never gets old, however some of the gameplay holds it back from being thumbs up all around.

A lot of the “parkour” traversal is pretty sluggish and unresponsive at times which I feel like given its limitations is only as is to pad out the otherwise very short narrative which in itself felt pretty rushed in its second half. I think if it was fleshed out more, the characters given more depth and there being more time to resolve certain loose ends that are never dealt with, this could have really been one of the greats in the PlayStation catalogue, but unfortunately the interesting setting and world building isn’t this title’s saving grace.

I really feel however if a sequel ever was to be conceived and the studio took what they learnt from this, they really could cook up something magnificent, but as it stands that doesn’t seem like a possibility at the moment.

But, yeah, pretty decent game, very fun gunplay would be even better if it had leaned into survival horror elements more though.
