A slightly slower, more methodical entry, that refreshes the aesthetic of the modern series and tweaks mechanics enough to be distinct. I found myself more interested in exploration to uncover all the secrets than with the previous games. Features a bit more narrative this time round, which is nothing special but inoffensive enough.

For reference: not a boomer shooter fan, liked Eternal, really liked 2016 (though I want to revisit now). I love this. I love the shield and how dynamic and cool it makes the fights. Every weapon is useful though I had a few I went back to the most. I like the heaviness and how it puts less emphasis on mobility than Eternal did, but he still moves fast. When he drops from a height, damn that feels good. And I liked the story/lore, which is surprising.
