Agressively mid. The opening sequence was fantastic, there were some cool new features to make the gameplay interesting (or at least stand out from its predecessor), and I actually liked Kraven as antagonist. My main problem was that before playing, I got the idea this would be a massive blockbuster with so much more cinematic gameplay and drama than the first one. And it wasn't. The story honestly kinda sucked, its themes remained basic, and the gameplay got repetitive really quickly. Kind of disappointed in this one. I will nevertheless complete the side missions in the hope they are as interesting as in the the 2014 title.

Second, complete, and final ending.

I am deeply moved by the sheer narrative power.

I will pre-order the next one so hard.

Game is cool as fuck, simple (not easy, mind you) as hell, and got me into metal a bit.

I didn't finish it and that's okay. I only had the final boss battle left and maybe I'll finish that one on a lower difficulty, but not right now.

In the last couple of months, I've really taken a hard look at the time management of my entertainment. I learned to discard books,games, tv shows when I no longer wanted any of it. With games, I also learned to look up guides or lower the difficulty to make the harder parts more enjoyable. I liked playing through this game and rather than spend a couple hours frustrating over one level I could just be having fun with another game instead. Finishing something just for the sake of finishing something is not worth my time and I hope anyone who reads this review keeps this in mind.

Games are for fun. Let's keep it that way.
