Shin Mikami Tension

I’d say so at this point. Like everyone else, my enthusiasm for the game waned in the final act.

When I left the safe house during my first jaunt through the city, I spotted a dimly lit chapel and thought to myself, “hmm, what might that be?” and was treated to something approaching fine literature AND a Paul W.S. Anderson film.

I won’t spoil it but it was expertly crafted and perfectly curated moment of narrative exposition, world building and tense action. Unfortunately, the quality of these moments varied and were spread unevenly within the rest of the world but the chapel scenario will be the pilot light fueling my enthusiasm for the game in the darkness.
