I definitely enjoyed my time with it, but as the Waypoint review points out, not taking it too seriously is a must. There were so many moments that are just patently absurd and hilariously mis-timed/tone deaf that it became a comedy for me and my friend really quickly. I think the height of this is in the old couple's farm house, where you can have an impromptu jam session despite there being the perception of a time pressure. The world's internal logic was spotty at best (toilets without pipes etc), so it's at its best when you just lean into the craziness rather than look too closely at it.
That said, it does feel like a big missed opportunity. On the one hand I feel like it would never have been made without Josef Fares' advocacy, but on the other I think if he'd taken a step back, assumed Creative Director roles and allowed someone else to write the thing, we could have ended up with something really impressive. As it was I saw the twist coming a fucking miles off (Vincent is supposed to be a banker but he is proficient in brawling, stealing cars, shooting, knows people who have planes and shit?!) and it veered into the patently absurd far too often, with the peak being that hilariously ridiculous synchronised bike jump that felt more like Fast and the Furious rather than Scarface or whatever Fares was trying to go for at that moment. Not to mention the constant nods to different classics were a little too on the nose.
I also lament that they couldn't do more with that double-cross. If they could have somehow communicated to the Vincent player that they were trying to get information or evidence against Leo throughout the game, and could give that player opportunity to lead conversation etc, that would have been an incredible moment when the Leo player realises that they gave away important information or whatever at the end. I get that this isn't that game, but I also don't love when games withhold information from the player that the player's avatar would know. Heavy Rain was particularly egregious in that, but I think this flirts with it a little too heavily.
Overall, it's an enjoyable experience, but I think its comedy is utterly unintentional, which certainly makes it funnier, but I'm not sure it's a success at what it sets out to do, which is be a genuinely emotional action/drama.
