Best of The Freedom Chronicles
Honestly, all three Freedom Chronicle episodes feel so thin on content you're better of waiting for the season pass to go on sale and get them all cheaper than it would cost to buy any individual episode, but I figure people might appreciate separate reviews of each episode to get a better idea what they're buying. Silent Death's episode is arguably the best of the bunch. Her story is a bit less weighty than Wilkins and Joe's, which is helpful since it means it doesn't feel like you're missing out on as much when the cutscenes are just concept art with voice over. Instead, they give you singular objectives each level to work towards, which does give you a bit payoff per chapter. In particular, the chapter the ends with you assassinating the actor playing a kind of Third Reich Batman in some campy 60's get-up is pretty funny. Silent Death's campaign also benefits a lot from its focus on stealth. I love New Colossus, but the more vertical level design seemed to cause issues with using stealth and enemies spotting you at you weird angles, making attempting stealth feel kind of pointless at times. Since all of this episode's levels are designed around using stealth and the constrictor upgrade, I found the stealth gameplay a good bit more satisfying than in New Colossus's base game. A highlight for me is the final chapter set on the moon base (which sadly is limited to halls looking out at the lunar landscape) has long thing crawlspaces you can creep along. With patience and good timing, you can cleanly assassinate your final target, then bolt before anyone even know what happened. It still suffers from the same budget problems as all the other Freedom Chronicles episodes, but I think this one weathered it the best and arguably even offers a little something you don't really get in the main game. Since it's part of the same game, everyone controls the same as BJ, but the lower armor and lack of big hitting weapons gives Silent Death a somewhat unique playstyle.
