The story never necessarily matched the actions of the player. For instance after you kill Maria, you are invited by Clara to the orphanage in which she tells you Anton has called her to meet. Afterwards I still had to kill Reyes, when I did a cutscene plays where Anton is called by Clara and they act as if they have not talked to each other before... I suppose it would have made more chronological sense if I liberated the regions in a different order?
A bit of wasted potential here, could have been impressive if the game responded to player choices and presented a unique chronology per playthrough, as it stands the story simply progresses by certain triggers with complete disregard to the actual actions of the player. Additionally it was a bit jarring that the sadistic doctor Reyes becomes part of the story for a few missions and then shortly gets killed, also McKay death choice is inconsequential?
The story is based on triggers and a set of triggers is LOCKED to a region and it wont necessarily make sense depending on what the player will do.
I appreciated the fade to black cutscene transitions to Anton and Diego and what they are getting up to but there were not enough of them. Anton's actor was so good but again there was so little of him.
Would have been great if Diego's moral compass changed based on Dani's actions and decisions, a good ending would be Diego learns from Dani and decides to stop the cycle of violence of Yara, putting an end to Castillo and also Clara and Juan's "never ending revolution". Diego could have been the avenue of a third option for Yara, but this was wasted.
Juan continuously shows himself to be a amoral [censored] but no one seems to care? Its weird that Dani is angry at him for wanting to kill Diego for 2 seconds and then at the very end they go back to joking around with each other?
Last but not least I feel the whole plan with Viviro was not properly explained, why were so many people dying? Was it just a cover for PG240X weaponization?
Apart from this I really enjoyed the game, going to do the rest of the stuff now and then insurgencies 🙂
Where did Bembé go?
