This game's mechanics should be the standard for any aspiring immersive sim or shooter dev.

The shooting feels responsive, headshots feel nice, there's no lag or optimization issues, the melee weapons and kicks feel good, the damage is actually punishing and the game is fairly difficult in a fun way beyond artificial difficulty.

Enemies are unapologetically based in the Smiley’s from Manhunt 1, the entire atmosphere is reminiscent of those games and the Saw film series, but the structure of the gameplay loop, melee combat, and narrative, all seems more elaborate.

The Art Direction is very reminiscent of Manhunt with its PS2 like graphics and dirty environments that really emphasise both the corruption of the city and the dirty dealings of these gangs.

I also really appreciated the enemy voice acting and sound effects, as someone who has done sound design myself.

Certainly not needed here but either some kind of co-op or a play-against-your-friends type deal could work really well for this game's setting/theme.
