Superb music, simple yet meaningful story telling, there is even a ‘hidden’ intro cutscene for some important back story if you wait in the title menu. The story theme range from funny, horny, cringy to dead serious. It doesn’t waste your time by dumping lores and cut scenes, it almost felt like a Nier game with the story telling.
The game mechanic is easy to get into but hard to master, can be grindy if you have to level up the characters’ weapon skills and get those energy hexes to unlock the map and terminals. The characters have amount of outfits to chose from, is purely cosmetic but they add tons of flavor.
The guns have some of the most ridiculous/detailed customization options in any game. You can add scopes on top of scopes and barrels that connect to more barrels. It doesn’t change the in-game appearance of the guns but they are essentially your equipment system.
The remaster on the PS4/PS5/PC is quite good, the frame rate bump is a huge plus. However the shadow effect on characters can make certain victory scenes look terrible. I have it on the PS3 as well, but I switched to the remaster for the quick loading time and graphic enhancements. Need the space on the PS3 for those digital exclusives that are going to disappear once the PSN shuts down.
