Games I Like That Everybody Else Dislikes
My biggest flaw with this is that it's only half a game - it legitimately just ends dead on the halfway point. Now granted, that's a pretty massive flaw - but when that half of a game is as lush, tight, and intriguing as this is then honestly I'm able to look past that a bit. Obviously even the game's detractors can agree that the thing is just a graphical behemoth, beautiful looking work all-around that takes full advantage of the PS4's hardware and its historical setting. And tbh it's just impossible to argue with gunplay this righteous - being able to mow down rows of enemies with a real murders' row of sick weaponry straight out of a graphic novel. The weird mix of serious historical drama and deliciously dorky, gadget-driven 'secret spies vs. werewolves' narrative which occasionally gets splashed with gore always worked for me and the characters within it are so appealing - I also love how literary it is, its chapter system feels fully-realized as well as unique. All the more reason it made me doubly pissed off when the plot just abruptly ends when there should be so much more game left. I understand the frustration but come on, this was cool - a sequel was (and still is) absolutely deserved. Gets bonus points for being cinematic without being overbearing with it.
