The story is genuinely phenomenal.
It builds the mystery in a very satisfying way and when everything starts falling into place it's done masterfully. The entire meta narrative and the more crazy elements are also included in a fantastic way. The focus here is mainly on the plot & Alan tho so while the side characters are charming they're nothing too special.
The DLC also adds a lot to this story as it dives deeper into the more crazy parts and it really fleshes out the ending, which I loved.
The gameplay is definitely the worst part though as it feels extremely PS3 in the worst ways. It has interesting ideas but the basic gunplay feels very aged & isnt satisfying. Most combat encounters feel like a chore and there are a lot of them. I really wish this game wasnt so action heavy, smaller encounters work fine and can be enjoyable, but doing the bossbattles or fighting waves of enemies is simply not fun.
