DO NOT PLAY THE GAME PASS VERSION, IT DOESN'T WORK
Although the gameplay tended to fall a bit flat, and even at sometimes felt like sort of an afterthought, I genuinely had a great time with this game.
The combination of third person shooter and TV show wasn't something I thought I would enjoy but every actor involved brought their absolute A game, especially the late and great Lance Reddick. As always Remedy delivered with the world-building and story, and the different branching path choices literally made me stop and think about what I would do vs what Paul would do. Although it falls out of the Remedy connected universe of Alan Wake and Control, I could easily see how this game could be incorporated into the CU.
This game genuinely got me excited for Control and AW2 because now I can see what Remedy is able to do with a modern engine. Only 2 more games to go in the Remedy Rampage, Control and AW2.
