Cons
Con Commentary still feels off
The commentary is still odd at times as it is easy to tell all recorded reaction were recorded separate and with that does not sound realistic that the commentators are talking to one another as they would in real life. Neither commentator reacts to what the other one is saying, only to comment on what the player is doing, it just feels off and unrealistic.
Con Stamina
Players get exhausted quickly as you continue to play, a veiled attempt to get you paying that impacts the fun.
Con Tremendous build up in story, only to have a lackluster finale
Once the player progresses far enough into the game there are plot thread wrap-ups that seem a bit too convenient and overly rushed.
Con Short game
It maxes out at 5 hours of play, which is a bit short, though it is priced fairly for the time one gets.
Con In some parts the game locks you from entering areas
It might sound obvious but sometimes the invisible walls don't feel right, they are put in places you should be able to walk.
Con Heavy swearing
Extremely frequent use of swear words.
