Remedy has made some of my favorite games of all time. I’ll almost always find something to admire if not love about their brand of ambition in molding cinematic storytelling with gameplay. Unfortunately I think this experiment shattered the test tubes. The episodic TV element feels entirely inessential and the game that’s bolted onto it feels unresponsive and unintuitive. Nothing about these characters or this world really grabbed me either. I had a revelation early on where I could just tell this was gonna pull a “Heavy Rain” and I decided it wasn’t worth investing the time to be disappointed later.
