It’s been a while so apologies for the lack of specifics, but I remember Mortal Shell having some rough runbacks. Nioh and Nioh 2, in some of the longer missions there were some really rough spots.
Specific example; definitely getting to the bottom of Blighttown or top of Sens Fortress.

I would not be recommending this show to a broad audience without an incredibly serious content warning just FYI; it is not for everyone regardless of its audience scores!

Agree with the poor characterization! Small things:
Ellie does not say “good” in the game after killing Mel, been replaying tLoU2 recently- she has a panic attack and says “oh fuck”.
not finished with the replay but cannot find any evidence she ever tells Dina what Joel did in the game either.

No complaints about performances or casting though! Bella is still wonderful, Young and Isabella’s performances were also show stealers. Luna as Tommy remains one of my favorites.

Ultimately feel just a touch like they wanted to tinker and tinker with a story that mostly worked as it was.

One of Metaphors best features! Would also really shine in Clair letting the player practice parry windows etc without a punishing walk back etc

It feels like Marathon needs more game modes. Best in class pvp was always an additional component in Bungie history to best in class PvE experiences.
Gambits parallel competitive format could be really interesting for Marathon…could appeal more to non PvP people than another extraction shooter

if this was in-line with Helldivers co-operative extraction gameplay then it would be a day one purchase I think. not sure the market exists for more live service pvp games, even if the art direction and gunplay look great; Feels like they’re late to this particular party and can’t change course.
