What it does best
Industrial ambience inseparable from the experience
Oppressive Lovecraftian dread you can inhabit
Fast, weighty combat built around weapon mastery
A relentless rush of movement and firepower
What might put you off
Sparse story and uneven campaign structure
Dark, brown, visually repetitive presentation
The setup
