A game that's nice enough to play, but, oh boy, are we in a bad state when it comes to graphics. With all the bells and whistles turend on, even ray tracing, it runs acceptable on a 9060xt, but what you're actually getting, visually, is hard to see. This gets worse as the game progresses and becomes ridiculous at times, especially in the Alan Wake DLC. Yes, yes, I know, darkness and all, but at least in that game you had a flashlight. Here... there's yellow tarps to show you where to go, because it's too damned dark to see anything else. They even abandoned Ray Tracing here, because doors have lights on them that, well, don't project light to guide you. Like a real life door with a light on it does.
As gameplay goes, the powers you get are neat. It's the closest game to Jedi Knight 2 in this aspect that we've gotten in decades. The story is good, I like the characters. And the structure of the levels leave you always wondering about how to get to "that" place, to "that" ledge.. which, OK, some of them are less interesting after you find out you eventually get the power to fly, and a lot of them are locked behind story progression. That eats a bit into the joy of exploration.
Also, everything relating to skill and gear progression is bad in a bland and annoying "collect 50 scrap metal to craft 10% more damage upgrade" . They could have not had it. They should have not had it.
Also to the also, whoever at Remedy came up with the exploding enemies that can fly at you from any direction must be brought before the ICJ at the Hague.
