Made time for a replay before the sequel arrives. Still great! Refreshing to play a game that isn't crammed to the brim with admin.

Love the weight of the combat, and how even though it's pretty simple it allows you to be as flashy as you want. One time I used focus as a big lad dived towards me, then sidestepped and chopped him a dozen times in mid-air, revengeance-style. Feels great when you get it right, and honestly what more could you want?

Had forgotten big chunks of it, including just how naff the end credits song is. Afterwards, I finally got around to watching the little behind-the-scenes feature, which was fascinating, but I lost it when yet another terrible song started playing halfway through. Truly a comprehensively multi-layered entertainment package.

I'm clearly completely ignorant of whatever this is trying to conjure, because I'm getting nothing here.

If anything, I feel like it's not abstract enough? A humanoid, running and jumping and locking-on and shooting, just seems like a pretty mundane way to interact with these spaces.

Go play Car Quest instead.

Looks and sounds pretty rad, and the skating is great (when the camera isn't flipping around and killing your momentum), but following a trail of breadcrumbs while the main character simultaneously patronises themselves and you is just not my idea of fun :/

Also the combat is completely unnecessary, wish they'd been brave enough to strip it out completely.

Also also tiny text and no resize option.

Okay I'm done.
