Overall, the game is between good and fine. Using the gun and skills are pretty much the highlight of the game. Graphics during gameplay also look very nice. The gameplay pretty much boils down to how fast you can beat the game with the fewest number of deaths. That is the whole gameplay loop. However, once you're outside the gameplay (i.e., cutscenes and home menu), that is where the game suffers. In the home menu and in settings, the game is playing a cinematic that is fully rendered in real time. This is cool since you can see what graphic settings you choose will affect the graphics in real time. However, while changing my graphics settings, you can say that the graphics bugged out at certain times. While in the cutscene, they are pretty much generic and "unrefined". When I say "unrefined", I mean that there is no smoothness. You can still see the shakiness that was present when mo-capping the animations. It's not that bad overall, but definitely something that stood out after watching so many cutscenes from other games. Last, and the main reason why the game was mid, was the plot. The plot was non-existent. Overall, none of the questions I had were answered until the final fight. Even then, it was the stereotypical "change the world and I'll become the new ruler" motif with zero explanation to motive or backstory. After the credits, I had more questions than answers about the plot. Even with all of the problems I have listed, this game is a pretty good "I'm bored and don't know what to play for the next few hours" type of game. Generic, but short enough to finish in one sitting when you want to play something fast.
