Overrated. The game was too long for its own good and becomes extremely tedious real quick. Getting through each chapter is a chore when you're doing nothing but the same quest every time.
Plenty of flaws in the story, lots of annoying mechanics, and questionable choice for combat system, but if I said I didn't enjoy a huge chunk of it I'd be lying. Nice ending too.

I had a really hard time getting into this installment since it's story is so bland and dragged out at times. Combat was fun and engaging but after a while it just seemed like the fights dragged while you wait for cooldowns. Will give it another try in the future.

Omocat has one twisted mega mind.
Holy fucking shit, I had high expectations for this game, and it exceeded every single one of them. The vastly improved combat system and additional mechanics were great, but the best part was the story. The story is just so meta and insane.
I didn't think the story could get any better than 2, but I was wrong. The last 20 minutes were the greatest.
I can't put into words how I feel about this work of art. Being able to experience so many emotions while invested in nearly every single moment and character. Genuinely the most compelling story I've ever read.
I'm not one who would argue that the original is always better, but in this case, the original is way better than the remake, and it's not even close. So much content, specifically areas and puzzles, were cut out, like the clock tower sequence or the raccoon park, which were some of the best parts of the game. Nemesis isn't shoved in your face and breathing down your neck as much, so he's more of a tolerable character. Do yourself a favor and give this game a try; the tank controls are not that bad.
