The individual who is posting PS Lifestyle and Eurogamer reviews and is still waiting for Phantom Liberty and Alan Wake 2 to fall below 87 is talking about finding solace in reviews. The irony :ROFLMAO:

But what of the individual who spent $22.49 - $31.49 (and considers himself lucky for doing so) on a game where:

- investigation is merely a vehicle to drive the narrative forward, and there's no real deduction on the player's part
- combat is merely flashing a torch and then finishing enemies off with a laughably limited arsenal of weapons
- the player needs to sit through hours of integrated FMV

Correct me if any of the above is factually incorrect :LOL: 🤜

So Necrokiller has nothing to say in defense against my 3 points. Makes sense, facts can't be denied 🤷‍♂️:LOL:

I spent $22.5 for a game rated higher than a $70 game CerebralTiger bought at launch. That's a win of Epic proportions 🤜:ROFLMAO:
Games can be rated higher for being a better overall package, and can still have individual components that are inferior to those of lower rated games. Case in point: investigation in Detroit vs in this game 🤷‍♂️:LOL:

So far, I prefer Alan's portion of the game over Saga's.

+ Shining light on shadows to reveal potential enemies and the way said enemies move around like they're a glitch in the matrix is nicely done in Alan's section.
+ The lamp mechanic, where you absorb/deposit light to open new paths, works well for exploration in Alan's section.
+ The shooting is a notable improvement over the first game. There's some decent feedback, and enemies are no longer bullet sponges.
- Combat encounters themselves get repetitive fast, with little enemy or weapon variety (so far)
- Narrow spaces don't work well for combat. Case in point: the first boss fight, where the camera can get really awkward at times.
- Excessively harsh smudge filter when low on health.
- Melee feels clunky.
- So many FMVs.

    You reap what you sow. This is what happens when you take away choice from consumers. Even with 88% split going to developers, they can't recoup costs. Meanwhile, Helldivers 2 is a massive hit for Sony thanks in big part to Steam.
