Alright, so you've found yourself in a bit of a pickle, haven't you? You're deep in this secret alien temple under the city, and things have gone sideways. The big bad guy was here, you had a go, and well, it didn't quite work out. Now you've got to backtrack out of there, do some other stuff, and then, for some reason, head *back* into the temple because you suddenly remembered the villain is still there. Classic!
The plot here is a bit of a mess, bouncing around like a pinball. One minute you're trying to figure out if the billionaire tech bro is a genius or just a massive tool, the next you're defending his projects from the government. Just try to keep up, I guess. The game itself is a bit of a mixed bag. It's got this open world that it seems really embarrassed about. You're constantly being railroaded into the next story mission, with NPCs yelling at you if you dare to deviate. Seriously, about 60% of the game is just driving across empty roads while someone nags you.
When you're not driving, you're mostly doing token rounds of cover-based shooting against some pretty weak enemies. Your super-secret drone power? It deletes one target at a time on a cooldown. Thrilling. There are also a couple of tailing missions and a single safe-cracking minigame that make you think, "Yeah, things could be worse." But then you remember you could be back to the terrible shooting.
The biggest frustration is that the game has all these optional race challenges hidden away in menus. Why weren't these scattered around the map to be discovered organically? It would have taken five seconds! It feels like a missed opportunity, or maybe just another sign that the developers weren't quite sure what they were doing.
Anyway, good luck getting out of that temple. Just remember to head back in later when you remember the villain is still there. You've got this!
