If you enjoy games like Alan Wake, Quantum Break and even the old Max Payne Games, you will probably enjoy this game. With that said, there are a few issues you should be aware of. The framerate can dip down pretty low at times. I found this to be true when pausing and unpausing the game or when there is alot happening on the screen. Also the game crashed on me once or twice.
Graphics: 7/10
Nothing to write home about. Games like Spider-Man or God of War look better..facial annimations can be a tad off at times. It looks like some kind of slant jaw that's going on.
Gameplay: 8/10
The environments and detail to the office spaces are great. Most things can be destroyed. Walls and support beams in most cases breakway and can be thrown at enemies. There are a handful of weapons at your disposal to use and upgrade. Also you have the ability to gain powers and upgrade those. Side missions do exist and are mostly interesting.
Sound:9/10
There isn't a ton of game music in the game but when it does play like during enemy engagements, it brings the combat to life. Voice audio is well done and is believable. Doesn't sound cheap or cheezy. Items being destroyed sound like they should. Overall the audio def pulls you into the game.
Fun Factor: 9/10. Listen, the game is down right fun. There is something satisfying about taking a piece of a wall or pillar and throwing it like a baseball towards a group of enemies. The only downside I can say is I wish there was more enemy variety. Also the level design and or vertically can be a bit confusing at times on trying to figure out where to go. Aside from that, you can complete the game in about 15-20 hours depending on how much you explore and the side missions you do. Also, there are hidden areas in the game which are a cool add on. If you enjoy the games I mentioned above, definitely give this one a try.

Did you play Quantum Break and was like - give me more!! Then this is the game for you. It's the same people who made it and I've honestly put in like 40 hours into it. I'll put more hours in when the DLC comes out on June 25th. It's a game that I can't put down and I'm not sorry about it. After this review, I'll probably go play some more.Wait...why? Because you get to fly, blow stuff up, talk to sarcastic funny people, and get lost in the crazy. The videos of the dolls are cringing but I think that they made it that way for a reason. Five stars, bravo and I hope this company makes more games!!
