Shot entirely through a handheld-camera aesthetic — grain, blown-out light, censored gore — which is the reason to see it, and consistently committed to. The shooting itself is unremarkable and the cover system is imprecise. It is also very short, and the unrelentingly bleak tone gives you little reason to return once it ends.

A reboot that keeps the open-world crime structure and the customisation depth — the character creator is the strongest part — but pulls the tone toward earnest. Combat is serviceable, driving is fine. The mission design leans on repeated activity types, and the shift away from the earlier games' absurdity leaves it without a clear identity.

Bigger and better paced than the 2013 reboot: tombs are more numerous and more elaborate, and the crafting and hunting loops give the hub areas a reason to exist. Traversal is excellent. The story is forgettable and the survival framing sits awkwardly beside a protagonist who kills dozens of people without comment.

Quad-wielding combat: two guns plus two demon arms that grab, throw and tear, which makes fights faster and more physical than the first game. The comic-book art style holds up well. It is short — a single sitting for many players — and the darkness-and-light mechanic reduces most encounters to shooting out the same lamps.
