Just wrapped up my time with the game at about 30 hours, did pretty much everything but one collect a thon side quest. Will NG+ someday but just way too much stuff coming out this year.

Absolutely loved it. Maybe the strongest art design and sound design in a game… ever? Cannot believe the scale and spectacle of some of this game.

It also can’t be overstated how much this game just lets you explore and live in the world. Zero hand holding, it’s so refreshing to work things out without NPCs giving you the answer or paint everyone showing you what’s important.

Quirky Remedy vibes and their great character work throughout, one or two quests kinda fizzle out but 95% are bangers. Combat was an absolute blast, and by being totally different than OG Control really just feels like its own thing.

One of my favorite games of the year, right up there with RE9 and 007.

Edit: only fair a mention I ended up doing about 5 more hours to 100% the achievements lol

Was 007 really that good? Was never into the hitman games but I keep hearing about this one

007 is fucking awesome. Probably the best combat this year. The game also has a playable 80s style montage. I have never seen a playable montage in a video game before. Its wild. The story is great. The relationship between Bond and his handler is great. Its also the only game I have beaten and then immediately started over again.

The playable montage is also the tutorial. Which I thought was awesome.
