This game is peak late 2000s edge rawkino ubersoul. Its an extremely fun superpowered open world game which, to this date, still feels fucking incredible to control. A decade+ later and this is still one of the best feeling open world games to just traverse and explore, with Alex's different mutated abilities, parkour and gliding allowing for seamless and really damn good feeling movement. Being able to just wallrun up damn near anything and the flow state presented from chaining jumps, airdashes and glides together is something that few open world games have ever really gotten close to, maybe only really Insomniac's Spider-Man has made open world movement feel as good.

The game is definitely a little rough around the edges though. Its a little buggy, some missions are definitely super rough, and the last two bosses suck mega ass, but the core gameplay experience of causing carnage is just super satisfying to the point of being able to carry the game through even its weakest moments.
