    It was okay up until they did the cliche thing where the character who holds the morally correct position 99% of the time suddenly does a heel turn and commits an irredeemable crime.

    Then it just became “BOTH SIDES ARE BAD ACTUALLY.”

    Like yeah sure Ken Levine, the revolutionaries trying to free their people are just as bad as the ruling class that’s doing textbook racism, just because you wrote the revolutionaries’ leader into killing a child.

      For me the issue of jumping from reality to reality meant you weren’t really fighting for anything beyond your own survival, but the plot didn’t seem to understand that.

      In the dlc they show the other side of daisy’s story and why she did it. Wasn’t a “both sides” thing.

    I thought it was mostly great. The music, setting and storytelling were all fantastic. I would have liked it better if you had more of an inventory and could swap them out at will rather than when you found the right vigor. I’d also like a super easy mode so that my partner who is terrible at video games could enjoy it.

    If you enjoyed the game, it was good. If you didn’t, it wasn’t. That’s literally all that makes it either a good or bad game.

    It was my least favorite only because the ruins/abandoned nature of 1 and 2 were what made the games so enjoyable for me.

      Well bad movies can be enjoyable but they definitely aren’t good. Games also need to be functional and not a buggy mess to be considered good.

      I would agree that it’s definitely the weakest in the series. They stripped out the immersive sim parts and put in a grapple hook that really didn’t do much for the exploration.

    Loved the story and setting, but I wish the enemies were less “bullet spongy.”

      It was an arena shooter. But never advertised as one. Once you realize what the game really was everything else like bullet sponges and other combat mechanics make more sense.

    The setting was a step back in my mind, but god damn was the story good. I first played it on the 360 when it came out and didn’t really enjoy it so I never bought the DLCs. Got the collection on PS4 a few years ago and played through all of them back to back. The way the trilogy goes full circle with the DLCs blew my mind and completely changed my opinion of the game.
