If a game of Apocalypse Now were ever to be made, the team that made this game should be the ones trusted with the task. I can only say the only two issues I have with this game are the unforgiving checkpoints and the uneven difficulty. Nothing that will cause slight upset but when you want to play a game this bad and learn what is happening it is forgivable.
The story is incredible, while it starts off as the typical HOORAH military action game, it slowly takes you down a twisted world of death, psychotic military leaders, war crimes, and other horrors that you don't get in other military shooters. You actually SEE characters evolve and see their emotions. You are given the responsibility to become these characters and do things you would either not do or not have the choice to do in other games.
The aestetic is incredible as well. The scenery of dubai in the daylight, from a high-rise looking down, seeing an abyss of sand and dust. The wall graffiti which highlights the mindset of locals of Dubai. Everything was made to put you in a hellish world.
This game is well worth it. When the gameplay issues start nagging at you I suggest lower the difficulty because this game is for the story...the feels.
