Certainly a passable comeback for a long dormant franchise. The game has several neat ideas but technical limitations and a total lack of restraint hurt it immensely. The game deliberately stretches itself out several times in order to achieve a play-time of over 10 hours. Also, the characters never shut up which makes actually focusing on the game (which is already chaotic) even more difficult. It's not the writing is bad either, in fact it's pretty solid, it's just that there is never a quiet moment in this game. Issues with the camera and physically painful controls make for a less than pleasant playing experience as well. It's certainly a good return to a series that hadn't seen a game in about 20 years though. There was clearly a lot of love put into the game and I appreciate that, I just wish the final product had a bit more polish. It would have been better as a straight up Sin & Punishment clone.
