This game resides in a universe with a rich and amazing lore, but it lacks the charisma to make it truly work. It's as if it's lost Control of its direction.
There are numerous concepts to explore, and the entire Remedy's franchise has been masterfully crafted. With a different gameplay approach focusing more on third person with powers, it should work, right? Well, it doesn't.
I found more enjoyment in watching videos and listening to podcasts discussing the game than actually playing it. This is not a positive sign. The gameplay works, the story is decent, and everything falls into the realm of mediocrity, sometimes even bordering on uninteresting, despite the interesting backstory.
It's a must play that I highly recommend for those looking to explore more of this rich universe. However, keep in mind that you won't find a highly enjoyable gaming experience here.
