feels good to play, difficulty feels right. Lore is light-hearted and has the occasional comic relief which I like in roguelite FPS games. Death is part of the core loop and I feel like it doesn't happen too often or too little. Story segments pop up at the right moments too.

I can't believe this story you're telling me, it's macabre

people late to the house party got mogged, what did you expect for being late?

not as good at until dawn

boss game

come on TARS

nearly as good as the OG

good vision that generated hype, actual execution kinda sucks

nearly as good as Helldivers 1

Wait so was the 33rd real? Were Lugo and Adams real? Was the setting where Dubai is covered in sand real? Was it a dream? Was the CIA op real? Was the mission real? Were the random looters with guns at the start of the game real? Was the hostage situation with the looters and the soldier real? Was walker really in Delta force? Was Gould real? Were the rest of the CIA from the intel real? Was any of the intel real? Was the radio guy real? Was Konrad really a Colonel that Walker knew from Kabul? Was the heavy enemy who looked like Lugo real? Was his appearance and subsequent disappearance after dying to him a sequence glitch in the game's coding, a deliberate narrative device, or a manifestation of Walker's guilt and inner turmoil? What was there for Walker to feel guilty of at this point when he's just been following his mission? Was the mannequin room real? Was this really a bad gameplay segment? Was the white phosphorous mortar segment real? If it was real, were we shelling the evil 33rd or was it civilians? Why does the dying soldier who looked like Obama say "we were helping" when they were literally committing genocide? Was the Obama soldier real? If the 33rd were real, were they killing real civilians? Was Lugo really hanged by a mob or did he hang himself? Did we really shoot into a crowd of civilians after they hanged Lugo? Was the argument between Lugo and Adams real? Was Riggs real? Was the argument between Adams and Walker real? Does Walker have schizophrenia? Did Walker skip his last medical? Was Konrad's corpse really sitting on top of that building? Did Walker really take the uniform off of a corpse and wear it? Was the ending cutscene real? Is Walker real? Is this game meant to be a thought-provoking masterpiece?
