This series defied all the terrible trends to go out with a bang - bringing back the lush vegetation in a blight-stricken New York City. Love the urban-natural clash that was the backdrop here. The gameplay features an excellent mix of concepts and trends, while being wholly its own thing. And the MP has echoes of Titanfall.
The bow reminded of Painkiller. A lot of folks harp on about how indies are where shooters are excelling right now, but I want to say that sometimes having a AAA budget, production, and story matters. Additionally, indies can't hold a candle to multiplayer developed by a teams of pros. Really hope to see these games excel and live on forever.
