This game is a pleasant surprise ever since the beginning. Remedy uses a cinematic style for its storytelling, with crazy visuals and cryptic shenanigans. It is a story where you can read between the lines, and if you have the patience to browse the many collectibles you can give interesting interpretations of the game. The characters are quite quirky, as expected, and the acting is convincing.
The gameplay is satisfying, a bit difficult to pick up the gunplay but very rewarding as for the kinetic powers. I really enjoyed the exploration, stumbling upon very secret areas and unlocking cool stuff.
On the downside I can only think of three issues: some visual hiccups, specifically faces going to a neutral expression too soon in cutscenes or the animations being a bit too stiff; aspects of the gameplay, like the fact that any melee attack you receive makes you one-shot regardless of your current health; counter-intuitiveness in certain side missions, it's really hard to understand what to do or where to go sometimes.
