And as expected with stories about time travel, things tend to fold in on themselves with plenty of surprises and revelations. Soon though he is assisted by Beth Wilder (Courtney Hope) whose assistance helps guide Jack and the player though the story via her inside knowledge of the dangers ahead. Quickly the situation worsens for Jack and he is on the run from Paul’s Monarch Corporation whilst trying to deal with the side effects of his own exposure to the accident. Still very early though, so grain of salt.Creating a space/time bubble couldn’t be dangerous, right?
Closest thing I’ve seen to slowdown is a slight hitch when coming out of the options menu.

It also helps that the characters, especially Jesse, are just so charismatic that it’s fun to watch them even when I have no clue what they’re talking about.Įdit: I also wanted to mention, I’ve been playing on ps4 pro and haven’t had any of the issues I’ve seen plaguing people on launch ps4s. Like, enough so that I feel like I can make real guesses. The little bit of psychic junk I can do so far is also just terrifically fun even.Īnd importantly, despite the fact that this story’s sort of ambiguity and inscrutability can usually just frustrate me, there’s enough real worldbuilding behind the bureau to sink my teeth into that I feel grounded enough to enjoy the mystery.
The combat is so far just simple enough for me to grasp and just dynamic enough to feel good that it’s really hitting the spot. Probably also because that plus the nature of the level design has, similar to Sekiro earlier this year, activated the part of my brain that makes me backtrack and circle each room or area multiple times to make sure I’m not missing anything (which I definitely still am missing things).Īnd it’s great so far! I didn’t really have this on my radar the way a lot of folks did, I kind of impulse bought it based on Cameron Kunzelman’s praise and my general desire for something a little more actiony, but now I’ve fallen hard.

I’m about 4-ish hours in so far, which probably equates to, like, 1 or 2 for a lot of people since this game is chock full of non-fiction documents to read that for once are genuinely gripping. I don’t even think Cohan and the actual actress, Courtney Hope, look that much alike. I just assumed it was from the first time I saw a screenshot. The most surprising thing I’ve read in reviews so far is that protagonist Jesse Faden is not played by Lauren Cohan. Two things from reviews so far that have been surprising to me:įor the first time I can remember, I saw a gameplay mechanic in a review and thought “oh… I wish I hadn’t seen that, it would’ve been cool to discover it in the game.” I always thought it was ludicrous to consider mechanics to be spoilers, but I might be a bit more sympathetic to that argument in the future. I am seriously excited to get started on this when I get off work tonight.

(Anyway, I figure this game needs a thread, but mods can feel free to kill it if/when a thread for Rob’s review goes live.)
See, cuz Remedy’s last two games were Quantum Break and Alan Wake, and in this game the world changes and manipulates at, like, a quantum level, and you pick up stuff with your mind and throw it, leaving a wake behind it…
