Fun shooter with visceral combat, clear respect for the original film's spirit, plentiful environmental destruction, though somewhat underpolished and with uneven graphics (e.g., great lighting and locations but disappointing facial animations or mishandled depth of field in some conversations) - but still much better than I'd expect from a studio with a mixed track record "milking" a mostly dormant IP. It took me 14 hours to beat to near-100%. It's rather on the easy side (I died once or twice on normal difficulty, and I'm not the type to take the time to work out an efficient/optimal character build, and I rarely used the special skills like dodge, blinding flash, temporary shield etc.).

With the semi-open city sections, sidequests, several skill lines, pistol upgrade circuits, dialogue choices with minor story impact, character opinion, use of skills and missable clues in dialogue, etc., I wish they'd actual gone even further and made the game into an immersive sim lite.
