Reviews
(1)The staging of the fights and the film sequences of the main story are incredibly well done. However, the side quests seem very cheap, both in terms of tasks and dialogues. You actually always do the same thing in the side quests, which makes it repetitive very quickly. However, you get resources for upgrades etc. through these quests, which is why I did them all anyway. The game has a cool and exciting story that makes you want more. In my opinion, the system with the glove was also super integrated into the game. Overall, everything about the main story is really very well done. And the combat system is a lot of fun and offers a lot of variety, depending on how you want to fight. Overall, I give the game an 8.5/10 because I didn't like the side stories and the game drags on a bit at the end, but I had a lot of fun with the game and can only recommend it to every action fan.
