Ever had that head banging, fist pumping feeling? Prepare for a marathon stretch of it here with a smile on your face.

I haven’t ever played a rhythm game before but I love this music - and especially some of the artists they pulled in to work here - and while it was a difficult thing to get my head around at first, once you do it delivers pure adrenaline. Obviously it’s following the Doom 2016 and Eternal formula to an extent and feels very much like you could bundle them together. And that is no bad thing in my book.

Short and sweet too, even if it can be punishingly difficult for a novice like me, but blast through this in a weekend and chase that leaderboard time and again. I will.

Genuinely surprising and enjoyable game.

Probably could power through this in a couple of hours with it’s very quick 5 or so minute rounds if you’re focused. But actually recommend doing what I did and play a couple rounds a night to wind down. Very straightforward but engrossing game with plenty to soak in via environmental - pun intended - storytelling.

Had an emotional impact on me I was not expecting but delighted to have given it a go. Fully recommended.

Three stars maybe on the harsh side but for a remaster of a decade old game I would hope the sound jank was worked on… it ain’t.

Vaguely interesting story, boring man character though, fantastic combat with truly cinematic moments and then appalling driving sections. So, in short, is adventurous, takes risks - especially for its day - but swings and misses. But I can see why for some it is their favourite game, it just doesn’t hang together for me and became a chore by the end. As it was on 360 a decade ago. But the charm is there for those that can see past these issues so I don’t begrudge the high esteem this game is held in by many.

Remedy went onto make a game I truly love in Control but this one isn’t for me.
