Trying to give this game a score is a fools errand. The performances, cinematography, and writing are some of, if not the, best in gaming while the gunplay, driving, general control, and every other form of interaction are complete dogshit. This leads to huge highs of intrigue, immediately shot down by actually having to play the game. The game knows that and constantly offers to let you skip the actually game parts. So if the best way to play is to just watch, what the hell am I playing this for? None of that is to even mention that the switch version is the worst”remaster” of a game I’ve ever played. Runs like trash, looks like trash, just a mess all around. All told I still had a good time I think(?). It’s an important game for sure. The ambition is insane and the things it achieve are often unmatched even 10 years later. Oh and fuck the guy and company that made it. Exploitative asshats.
