The tutorial is endless, the unskippable cutscenes are monstrous, and the inclusion of DaVinci should have apparently been a warning that all of the pop mystery history shit was going front and center. On top of that, they added layers upon layers to all of the side stuff in the game, which would have been fine if the game made its core pitch and unlocked basic skills and areas from the start. Instead I'm punching people and re-re-re-learning how to "blend", with what sounds like the British asshole from Buffy providing me with protips about codes I don't give a shit about.

I will give this a few more tries out of stubbornness, because the first one was pretty enjoyable on a visceral level once you got past the bullshit.
