Aight, about 3 hours in and this is what I can say so far:
pros:
- It controls very fluid and nicely
- There seems to be a lot of weapons, besides the standart stuff there are also some creative ones
- Gameplay is mechanically very enjoyable, if you wanna go bezerk you can totally do that and the game gives you every tool to do so. The fast past movement with the insane jumping mixes really well with the shooting.
- The jumping generally is really cool, it's fun to climb and reach high buildings and such.
- Pretty much no hand holding.
cons:
- Graphics are mediocre, there is pop up and framedrops
- Repetitive mission design
- Story is the definition of generic and uninteresting
- I feel like the game should be even more extreme, perhaps it will go to that level later down the line, but I imagine some Max Payne style slowmotion etc. would mix really well.
