I would highly recommend this game to a lot of my friends, and to anyone looking to pick up a game where you don't really have to think that hard about it, and can more or less just turn off your brain and start killing things. While the story itself aren't that innovative, it's still a really fun story none the less, with each character being fun, while each feel kind of same-ish, they're still fun to hear for dialogue.
I do see what people mean when it comes to writing, at times it can be kind of lame, especially the ending for me, I personally found it to be disappointing, but I personally found both of the DLCs to be very entertaining, and fun. If not for the bosses, but for the environments they had.
The bosses though are very annoying, and more or less hell on earth, especially for playing the game again, the game has a way of making you feel very powerful, being able to cut through 90% of what the game has to offer, all to face a boss and have the biggest ego-check if your life. But I'll mostly chalk that up to personal skill issue.
When I was reading through other reviews for the game, there were people talking about "woke" aspects of the game, and while I can understand and see where they're coming from, I feel that it needs more context.
When the npcs start referring to the mc as "they" it's because the dialogue is reused for each different character you choose in the game. Where you can pick one character and they'll be called they/them, but I interpret this is only because they only recorded one set of dialogue for each cutscene, character, and npc. So I wouldn't interpret this as a form of woke rhetoric, but instead something that they didn't have in their budget to record multiple sets of dialogue for each character's gender. Either that or they were too lazy to include them, or didn't have enough time to include it.
Overall, this game isn't perfect, but it was very entertaining to me, and I feel that it holds a certain place in my heart for providing me many nights of just staying up and playing for hours. I would highly recommend this to anyone who has some free time, and sees the game is on sale.
