Pros:
- Visually and stylistically majestic game; in addition to that runs smoothly on older hardware
- All the shooty mechanics are decent; both stealth and gunsblazing approaches are sufficiently rewarding
- Good worldbuilding through visuals, sound and partially story and characters
- Great destructible environment (and I mean it!)

Nitpicks:
- Too much story - worldbuilding hangs on brilliant environmental design, but is nearly ruined by story that isn't supposed to be taken seriously (I believe that's the intent) and at the same time is overly dramatic/preachy
- Our arsenal isn't balanced, some of it is too good, some of it is useless
- Some of the perks are pain to get (if you want achievements)
- Every level has multiple unintuitive "points of no return" - it's a huge pain if you're hunting collectibles (again for achievements)
- Hardest difficulty is too easy (didn't get stuck once and I'm pretty bad)
- Easiest difficulty is too hard for its name (I'm serious, little kids will die and cry)
- Protagonist endures too much (physically, in cutscenes), on multiple occasions, and not on a single one it's explained even in game's half-comedic fashion... Kinda actually disappointed on this one, a little bit
