Not really any spoilers, but if you're gonna play it anytime soon maybe skip this and enjoy the opening yourself.
Otherwise, enjoy this album of pretty Soviet retro-future aesthetics because I'm terrible at playing this game but ok-ish at taking screenshots I think.
Edit: The rest of the album is here. I'm bad at posting apparently.
Yeah, honestly the combat is a bit tricky for me being terrible at modern day games and apart from that (at least early on, apparently it gets better with more bioshoock style powers) it's nothing remarkable. But it is a backdrop/political approach that doesn't get made elsewhere which is interesting and occassionally patronises to us.
I mean it would be nice to play a FPS and not have to be like ohhhh lemme just ignore the American propaganda and enjoy the gameplay. I could be patronized to as a treat.
If you can GamesPass or pirate it do it. If you have to spend actual scratch it's all about whether you might get your money's worth even if it's not great.
I generally only pay for games if I'm confident the money will go the workers who actually made it... Ie indie teams of a few people.
Otherwise they just end up on my computer by who can say what means...
