Got this one in a Humble Bundle five years ago and never touched it until now. I went in without much interest, due to no previous experience with the franchise, and low expectations. I'd say it wasn't bad. Being a decade old, the main characters facial animations were reliable and even impressive at times. The environments were a little homogenous and got stale pretty quick. Aside from the final area, which I found thrilling. Reminded me a lot of the Impact Crater from Metroid Prime. With the other areas though, they tried to encourage backtracking and exploration, but the landscapes can be so barren and the mech you pilot is so slow and cumbersome that it made it a hassle. I hardly bothered with any secondary objectives because of this, not that the rewards were much to speak of anyway. Don't wanna be completely negative though. The music was really unnerving at times with sinister strings reminiscent of Morricone's The Thing soundtrack. I enjoyed the story and I was genuinely curious about what would happen next. The characters were easy to connect with too, especially the husband/wife dynamic of your character. I found myself surprisingly invested in the relationships being expanded upon along the way. The combat is your standard over-the-shoulder shooter, but it's riddled with really awful QTE's that even permeated the final fight, robbing it of some momentum. I don't think I'll replay it, but I don't regret the once-over. The game also commits the cardinal sin of locking the platinum trophy behind multiplayer trophies which is often the nail in the coffin for me when it comes to replayability.
