Wanted to replay this since RE4make is right around the corner and Mikami himself is leaving Tango (and probably retiring).

While the upgrade system can be a bit punishing and the story is generic, Vanquish is still my favorite platinum game featuring bombastic action and amazing gunplay with the most fun Platinum protagonist Sam Gideon. Real shame it'll never get a sequel but god I still love it all the same.

9.5/10
