You can augment Johnny's body with mods that give him a triple jump or more health for sliding through enemies with his chainsaw leg. You're here to latch your crosshair to a target and the AI-gone-rogue narrative offers something, anything, to direct your fury towards. You're not here to ball your eyes out or consider how the bloated cyclops you've just exploded might have had a wife and kids at home. To be honest, it does enough to facilitate your ultra-violence and that's all that really matters. With dashes and chainsaw-leg slides, too, fights are such a chaotic joy I'd imagine it accurately represents what it feels like to be a red water rafter cutting through a torrent of entrails.Īmid the waves of blood, a story is… present.
