      There's not as much time for nuanced analysis, which I kinda miss, but that's not typically the escapist's bag so 🤷‍♂️.
      Good enough!

    shuriken being a core ability now instead of having a frankly insane cooldown, as well as being able to block shots instead of being parry only, really make this game feel much more badass than the first

    The Ghostrunner games are so insanely lame, does the tool with the sword have to run around with it hanging out, or is it a sexual thing?
