Worth buying? What 300 Steam reviews say.Worth buying? Here’s what 300 Steam reviews actually say.
A visually spectacular, weird Remedy sequel with great traversal, story and level design, but a repetitive melee combat loop and a frustrating open world split opinion. Skip if you loved Control's gunplay.
Great for
Remedy fans who want surreal level design, story and fluid traversal, and can tolerate simple melee combat
Main risk
Combat is a repetitive button-mashing loop against the same enemies across a 25-35 hour open-world game

Many recent negative reviews report audio desync/cutting out, crashes (notably on AMD/older GPUs) and story soft-locks, with some saying a patch did not fix them or broke a quest. Fairly confident, though many players report smooth performance.
