You play as Jason Fleming, who discovers a rogue paramilitary group with his girlfriend, Claire. Their encounter pulls him into a conspiracy involving military upheaval and a threat of civil war.
Explore a large, interconnected side-scrolling world, fight soldiers and other enemies with firearms, and take on boss battles. The 2.5D presentation also lets you aim and shoot into the scene’s depth.
Find weapons, abilities, and other upgrades that help you overcome obstacles and open routes to more areas. The remaster adds contextual melee takedowns, Master Challenges, and Proving Grounds side challenges.
Players often enjoy the exploration and backtracking, especially discovering new routes as they collect gear and abilities. Reviews also praise the satisfying gunplay and the way upgrades make Jason more capable over time. Some appreciate the distinctive 2.5D aiming, while others find the controls or map frustrating, the presentation dated, or the campaign short.
