Investigate gamers within games, inside a game.
Almost more a "skin" than a homage to the original GTA... the same feel in a different era. Simple silly fun!
Making your way from point A to point B with a lot of personal exploration along the way.
Role playing on a grand scale, good versus evil, worlds in peril and you right in the middle of it all.
Grab a copy and start dying as soon as you can!
High concept horrible execution.
I'm enjoying it as much as I have any of the previous games and I'm nearly 70 hours in so I'd say it's pretty decent value for money. I suspect most people (certainly myself) have become used to being able to pick up the other games in the series for about $5 or so on special… so having a new game in the series come out at full price seems a bit harsh… but it's pretty reasonable considering how much gameplay there is here and how much of a technological advancement it is (but yes… you can still get a bit stuck on scenery if you walk/ride the wrong way on/off something… so some things never change).
Sam & Max are back... again... but now in VR!
There's a decent chance players equipment will be a significant factor in how "fun" this game is… I found it quite enjoyable using an Oculus Quest 2 via Air Link, movements seemed responsive, reloading (once I got used to it) felt quite smooth and I could get into a comfortable rhythm (which I haven't in some other shooter VR titles). If in doubt… wait for a sale, but if you are a fan of the series you will have a pretty good idea of what to expect here… but now you can enjoy it in the far more personal VR perspective. I'd recommend it.
For the price it sits at… I think it's a decent purchase. There's a lot to enjoy even just in looking around the world that has been built here, there are plenty of battles to keep you going and there's the story to play through from start to finish. Scratches that neon lit cyberpunk aesthetic itch just right.
