Yeah the story was actually decent and was a time travel story that was neither confusing nor too up it's own ass. It had a defining logic and it kept it, never really pulling anything out of it's ass. It was pretty interesting all the way through I think. I mean I was never bored, possibly because the cast was actually decent. I mean none of them were OMG deep, but none were stupid. All had an well reasoned motives which in a medium were characters hardly ever makes sense, is actually pretty good. I mean hell, the villains seem to make sense. Even the actual evil bad guy. The game hints at something pretty interesting with him.
I liked all the performances. Shawn Ashmore was pretty good and well I know I've read that same find Jack boring and well I don't know, maybe they could have harped on it better, but he seemed like a normal dude. A normal dude who can kill a bunch of dudes because of well video games. I guess maybe he got involved in small trouble as a young adult or whatever. But beyond that small video game consent(one I don't care about) he comes off as the normal dude in all of this. Trying to find the best outcome and I think Ashmore was good because he doesn't sound anything like a typical badass dude that a worse developer would cast for their game. So I really liked him.
Other then that I can't find fault with anyone else in the game.
As for the gamplay, yes I do think the aiming isn't as smooth as some of the best, but it was still good. Felt a bit too rigid to me and no shooting from the hip kind of sucks, but sense they've moved slowing down for aiming to actually just aiming it's ok. Maybe a better choice then tieing it to a button. Either way, all of the battles were fun and I thought there were plenty of them so I don't know what reviews were talking about. There were always thrilling because at the end of the day the game encourages using them over cover, especially since enemies are aggressive, flank, and don't take cover so they can just stand there and take pot shots at you. So maybe just use cover as a breather, but quickly get back out there and move around.
I don't know, it was just a simply good game.
The live action stuff I think was great as all the villains and side characters actually got decent development. I wish Liam didn't go out so shitty, but whatever.
I mean at parts it looked a bit cheap. Like the lifeboat not being anything too exciting. It looked like a real good Youtube exclusive, but it wasn't poorly acted and when they did do action scenes it looked good.
Good game.
