One of the best games I've played in years. Story is really good, very cryptic and intriguing, leans heavily into SCP, and the art direction is really cool and very trippy. The style is great in itself, however, it's the superpowers in this game that push it to the next level. A power fantasy to rival the likes of Doom, Prototype, or God of War. If you're looking for a game to feel like an unstoppable badass, look no further. Victory isn't assured, but you feel like a titan when you get the mechanics down. RPG elements give a good sense of progression without a bunch of useless skills, with a nice crafting element as well. The map may take a little getting used to, it's mainly serves as a general idea for fast travel. You mostly get around by following the signs. Pretty straightforward but trust me, the signs are your go to navigation source, it will save you a lot of getting lost. It doesn't overstay it's welcome either. All of the side quests are all pretty interesting and feel deliberate, unlike other RPGs (looking at you, ubisoft) No spoilers, but on top of everything there is a mission that is hands down one of the coolest things I've ever experienced in a video game, and I've been playing them since 1995. Probably the best part of the game but not by a huge margin because again, the whole experience is just so damn enjoyable I'm just happy there is DLC because I can't get enough of this game. Remedy is showing the rest of the world how to do a modern action RPG, and I can't recommend it enough
