Overall this game was good. Now compared to how much I loved the last game, this one doesn't stand a chance. However this game is fun and great in it's own ways. The story doesn't work well with the last game and some times feels awkward. There isn't really any new game mechanics other than a few more useless ones.

Rating: 10/10 Director: Orson Welles Score: Bernard Herrmann Cinematography: Gregg Toland Citizen Kane is a masterpiece. From the extraordinary cinematography to the outstanding acting, Citizen Kane has gone down in history as the most influential film ever made. To begin I want to discuss how absolutely beautiful this film is. Every single shot is taken with care and each of them is complex and interesting in its own way. The story behind the cinematography is quite astonishing: Orson Welles being new to the film industry gave full artistic control of the cinematography to Gregg Toland who was already a veteran filmmaker. I also felt that the set designers did a wonderful job of working with Toland to insure a perfect scene. There is never a scene, save for the one at the end which is inside of a warehouse, where the screen and shot feel cluttered. In every shot, you know exactly what to look for and it’s amazing. Secondly, the score, while very pretty, isn’t very memorable. I don’t mind this at times because I really enjoy the film’s quieter moments. While on the topic of sound, I think the sound design is also particularly great. There are a couple of scenes, including Kane writing the review, where everything is quiet and there is a very small, but remarkably noticeable sound. Finally, the acting and story. The acting in this film is some of the best I’ve ever seen. Orson Welles, Joseph Cotten, Ray Collins, and Everett Sloane absolutely kill it. Ray Collins stood out to me because he literally has like five or so minutes on screen, but he really does an amazing job. Orson Welles does great as well. He really sells Charlie Kane as a character. I also thought that his voice acting was particularly good. The story is a story of politics and an overbearing love for one’s self. The story follows Jerry Thompson as he tries to piece together the life and affairs of Charlie Kane so that he might solve the mystery of “Rosebud,” which is Kane’s dying words. It is an outstanding story and I found it incredibly interesting. I also really loved the ending, it was fantastic. Overall, an outstanding film. If you’re hesitant about watching it because it's old and black & white, please do yourself a favor and watch it.

This game is amazing. I really love the story and the characters. To me it almost feels as though every time you fight in the game there is some sort of impact. At least for me. I am playing the game on a PS4 Slim and my game has only crashed once when a lot was going on and I have experienced only one glitch that forced me to reload a previous save. The graphics are very nice usually but when a new area is loading in there is a big frame drop and the graphics can get a bit sloppy especially when people turn into jagged shapes. I do think that some of the starting missions in the main questline are a little slow paced but once pass them the game really picks up the pace and just becomes amazing.
