A completely no fluff nonstop blast from beginning to end. The aesthetic is killer, the gameplay is tight and fun, and the pace at which they give you new tools is near-perfect. When you hit that perfect rhythm of quickly jumping between gunplay and melee, it feels absolutely phenomenal. I wouldn't have believed it before playing it, but they really did deliver in making a third person shooter character action game hybrid.
The points that keep it a good game rather than a great one are that the story is below average, it's a tad glitchy, enemy variety is kinda weak, some encounters feel designed as though they gave up and simply dumped every enemy possible on the field to make things a cluster, console display options are miserable (neither of the options look great imo), and in general nothing here is particularly innovative outside of being simply being good.
The perfect weekend game to play on your PC, maybe pick it up during a Steam sale.
