I bought this game for my PS5 without knowing anything about it and without reading any reviews. Turns out I scored! A fun game with interesting weapons that keep surprising you with newer, more powerful versions just when you think you have the best ones. The missions are a bit repetitive but the difficulty keeps ramping up, forcing you to adopt new tactics or be forced to wait for your player to respawn.
One feature I really appreciate is a one-button indicator showing you the direction of your current mission, including the distance. A quick map review then makes it easy to decide whether to fight your way there or use the subway system. The stations are sometimes tough to get to, but cost nothing, while one button press can get you a taxi nearly from anywhere but costs you.
I have yet to try the cooperative play, which can be played as local, couch coop or via the internet. I’m sure it will add some more interesting gameplay options and missions.
Great for countless hours of fun, action gameplay and I will be restarting the single player missions for a fourth time. Worth the money!
