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.
