The most Metal game ever made

Played it on the steam deck with 60fps capped.

The game runs great, but is clearly outdated in terms of gameplay and quality of life features from a more modern game, some of which you might notice immediately. Funnily enough, this was actually a AAA game at that time given its budget allocation.

+ Voice acting - Brilliant, everything does an excellent job brining the characters to life.
+ Well done campaign - the set of missions that you do to progress the story had structure.
+ Gameplay - Fun for first few hours, has the ambition to be a hack and slash, but not there yet.
+ World design - Pretty vivid, wasn't expecting the variety. That's something not mentioned, but it's a full on open world game.

- Graphics - this should be obvious - pretty dated.
- Certain gameplay loops - can get tedious, especially towards the end of the game.
- World traversal and collectibles, traversal and side quests are just a waste of time honestly - but it's there for the completionists.

All in all, it's a neat 10 hr game if you ever wanna try it out.

Incredible game
