This game features one of the best FEAR-adjacent combat frameworks out there, which is honestly what gives it most of the rating, but a lot of what connects the encounters goes from boring to bad. Or just the backrooms for whatever reason.
You swing straight from loud, spectacular and fun action to running through the most forgettable Unreal Engine corridors you've ever seen while "engaging" with either mediocre storytelling or horror that lacks almost all atmosphere. The game has basically no defined visual style, very few memorable environments and almost all set piece moments are not really that fun to play (bosses and other bombastic sequences). The whole game is basically just a vessel in which the admittedly superb combat is delivered and there's barely anything to latch on to stylistically. Level design is also a fairly mixed bag, with some of the levels lacking clear cover or not really providing the best gameplay flow.
With all that said, this game does feature the absolute BEST akimbo SPAS-12s in videogame history, so you might want to check it out just for that.
