The sound effects tell me this a quality bit of cookware.
Is this… better thanPrey (2017)?
In this one aspect, yes.

c’mon do not quote me out of context here, Mr. Oshry.
But Im out on these mean streets looking for trouble, not Petes.
Bob Crosbys Way Back Home plays from a nearby radio.The roads are the dustiest…

I parry a blow from a flatcapd goon…the winds are the gustiest.
The gates are the rustiest… the pipe breaks, so I hurl a gumball machine.
“Lay down” commands my tagonist, superfluously.

I find a medikit and a wrench, which rounds out my maximum inventory space of three items.
Truly, these streets are the meanest.
Petes indisposed right now, and after a polite chat with some chill lads, I find myself underwater.

Soon, Im in a harbour warehouse having a chat with a crime-fightery chap named Nightwave via radio.
Its here Im treated to my first shootable - a nail gun.
I use it to shoot a button which opens the dock office for me.
Youve found a secret!
The game tells me.
This feels a bit unnatural, but I do enjoy headpats.
Next, I spy some mooks.
Annoyingly, stealth headshots with the nail gun dont kill them, but they still go down quick.
“Not so tough now, are ya?”
taunts my tagonist, which is fine, but nowhere as good as “Whats wrong?
Not tough as nails?”
or even the classic “Get the point?
“, but you cant have everything.
I think this is a good litmus test for the game in miniature.
