Late to the party, but I can't go without giving this some praise. I've been enjoying the hell out of it. While there is a place for throwback games like Wolfenstein and Doom, it's really cool to play something that feels genuinely sophisticated and cutting edge. Honestly, I find it a lot more exciting.
The sci-fi story is well told, with an interesting angle on time travel, and the performances are mostly great. And there's so much detail poured into all the extra narrative elements, it really adds a lot to the story to hunt all that stuff down. The visuals and the time effects are stunning, and the combat is just fun, giving you all those powers with separate cooldowns and then letting you mix and match as you zip across the battlefield, mowing guys down. I really love all the time stuff outside of combat too - when you're walking through frozen time or rewinding stuff. Some of it is just awe-inspiring.
I would have dropped the TV show and made a longer game, but the show itself is surprisingly well shot and well acted for the most part and the action scenes are done well. It's cool to see the in-game characters in their real life incarnations. It's an interesting experiment.
All in all, I think this is a superb game from Remedy, and it sucks that it kind of got buried under exclusivity and a troublesome PC version. It's a shame we probably won't ever see a sequel. I can only hope Remedy get to keep making games.
