I'm a big fan of environmetnal storytelling, and this game delivers. The story itself is pretty well-fleshed out, but it's suplemented by the environment. You can go up to survivors and hear them talk of their lives and hopes for the future. You can see a father trying to get their child to stop drawing weapons and instead draw something nice. Even in stealth segments, you can overhear the enemies talk about their families. The environment is really detailed, to the point where there's glass on the ground that guards will hear if you step on and icicles you can shoot. The gameplay is fun, but it can be a bit stiff. As are games of the last generation. The weapons are really cool, though many of them are absolute peashooters.
Fun, absurd, difficult. What more do you want?
