How did this dull, castrated interactive piece of crap manage to snag a ton of rave reviews? For me, it's just another sign that today's mainstream gamers will swallow absolutely any hyped-up crap, as long as it's wrapped in vulgar, below-the-belt jokes, swearing, and a superhero theme in the spirit of The Boys. The folks at Telltale haven't just failed to correct their mistakes over the past 10 years; they've elevated the illusion of choice to the absolute pinnacle of cynicism: the famous "character will remember this" tactic is there solely to mock your naivety, as the plot barrels along so tightly that even your complete physical absence from the computer won't change it. But the apotheosis of this disgrace is A local dispatcher simulator that's not only a poor rip-off of This Is the Police, but also has absolutely no impact: you can completely take your hands off the keyboard, fail every call, and in the next cutscene, your team will still stoically praise you for your professionalism and saving the city. Leveling up is useless, QTEs have no effect and are designed for kids with dementia, and the mind-numbing hacking minigame regularly encounters bugs and forces you to replay entire sections without the option to skip soporific dialogue on a second playthrough. Add to this the forced, poorly written romance storylines, where you're forced to choose between the hysterical Invizigal and the cardboard Blonde, depriving you of the opportunity to tell them both to get lost, and the absolutely ridiculous ending with the villain leaked and the dog held hostage, and you've got the perfect money-grab masquerading as a game with an outstanding story.
