My absolute favourite single-player game of all time, hands down.
Fantastic from opening to end credits.
Played this on the Wii originally after wanting to play it for over 10 years (I live in the PAL territory and it's not super common to find here) and completed on there, loved it. Played it on PC, this version translates the motion controls very well and I was super impressed with how they made it work here, loved it.
Played it on "Mild" difficulty, loved it.
Played it on "Bitter" difficulty, loved it.
Even grinded money to get the Beam Katana upgrade that costs $999999 (took 3/4 hours to accumulate), still loved it.
Story is great, the soundtrack and it's leitmotif is my favourite of any game OST that uses a leitmotif, combat is great and super satisfying, all the Beam Katana variants have true variation, implementation and there's a Beam Katana variant to match whatever play style you mesh with the most and upgrades to make it even more enjoyable and make your experience somehow even better.
Travis' character arc is something I feel isn't really anywhere else in gaming, he really grows on you if he's not a character you like off the bat, and seeing him grow really ties the story up quite nicely.
All the UAA members are really distinct and you get a great idea of who they are in the short time we get to know them.
On my 4th playthrough I was still learning new techniques and enjoying the game as much as I did playing it the first time.
If this game interests you at all, I genuinely cannot recommend it enough, as I think it's one of the best gaming experiences you'll ever have c:
Genuinely 10/10 <3
