≠ Stands apart with sandbox freedom, dark, oppressive atmosphere and sandbox world, while skipping precision platforming

The shootdodge finally has weight behind it: bullets tear through cover, animations blend into terrain, and the last-stand mechanic keeps firefights tense. Some of the best gunfeel of its generation. It is also the most controlling — long unskippable cutscenes stitch between fights, and the linear corridors leave little room to approach an encounter your own way.
