I love this game so much.
The dynamic between Cooper and BT is phenomenal and it’s backed up with quite a few funny moments between them, amazing voice acting from Matthew Mercer and Glenn Steinbaum and a pretty dang emotional final mission that almost made me cry. BT is genuinely one of the best “buddy” characters in gaming.
The campaign is insanely good since the level design is inventive and intelligent. Different levels have different gimmicks that truly serve to mix things up and play with the mechanics in smart ways. The way the sense of scale builds throughout the story is incredible and by the end what initially felt like a pretty paint by numbers plot is very involving.
Throughout my years in gaming, I’ve never really been a fan of first person shooters, but this game is most definitely an exception, there’s a wide variety of weapons to use for Cooper and 9 different loadouts for BT that are all a lot of fun and make you feel like a total badass when blowing up the soldiers and/or titans. The movement and platforming are really smooth when you’re playing as Cooper due to the satisfying wall running and sliding and when controlling BT, movement is slower and heavier but still smooth at the same time, which I really liked as it reminded me of the Batmobile in Batman: Arkham Knight.
I haven’t had the pleasure of trying the multiplayer yet as I don’t own PS Plus but from what I’ve seen and heard, it’s just as good as the campaign.
My only gripes with this game are that Master difficulty is ridiculously hard and unfair at times and the villains aren’t interesting characters at all but compared to everything this game does so fantastically, those issues are minor so I’m willing to forgive them. I heard good things about this game and every expectation that I had was completely blown away. Brilliant game.
