Easily enjoyable enough to recommend, though its ambitious scale and satisfying zombie slashing are undercut by frustrating design and clueless writing.

A shambling, mediocre mess.

A brief but well-crafted game that rewards creative play in surprising ways. It's good to see Snake again.

A hell of a way to spend a few days of your life.

Refines and improves the things that made Destiny great while fixing things we didn't realize were broken.
