Note: I have not played the original titles and I do plan on playing them in the future.
I don't think this game will land for everyone, especially on the gameplay department. But what really got me to absolutely love this game was the art style, atmosphere, story, and especially its characters. This is such a tightly knit story about memories and being able to connect with others, with a lot of sincerity behind it. The game also just has such a cozy feel to it, where a lot of I would just walk around and take in the music as I was playing because of how much I was taken in by the music.
I loved this game a lot and I especially got teary eyed by the end. Maybe this review will change once I play the originals, but at this time I will remember this game fondly.

After a replay on Hard Mode, I legit think this game is fantastic and deserving to be known as one of the best third person shooters out there. Super fun yet simple gun combat with a art style that works so effectively well with the hard boiled modern Noir story that it wants to tell. The dream sequences are also pretty insane for what they were able to pull off at the time.

A great finale to close out the original trilogy. With each game, this series continues to innovate and find new ways to make the same basic formula fun and unique; this time by going as loud and aggressive as it can. Whether it be from the more fast paced combat, the globe trotting story, or the heavier emphasis on the character development; this is the biggest game in the series so far. There were definitely parts of the game I wasn’t a fan of (some chapters weren’t the best, some story beats felt rushed, some cheap difficulty spikes), but it’s easy to see why this is considered the best out of the classic trilogy.
