John Bolton

Decent game play, OK story but so much artifical playtime inflation from boring side quests and little extra puzzles that serve no purpose except to push that overall playtime a little higher. Things like the firegleam and pullcaster stuff is so obviously trying to hide load times that I'd honestly just perfer a load screen (which appear anyway from time to time). Also, been pretty buggy for me on PS4 (Pro from 2019) so I'm guessing both the load time popups and small graphic/physics glitches are mitigated by the extra horsepower on the PS5..nothing game breaking, but again enough little irritations to add up to just a meh game for me.

I really tried to like this game because of how good the first was but I still think it's a complete letdown.
