I’m sad to report that it isn’t any of these things.

I’m going to be frank with you: I have no idea what’s happening with the story.

It doesn’t seem to tell a story, though?

Stone holds calls for her teammates not to get involved as a mysterious enemy approaches off camera in Wanted: Dead.

Like, all the cutscenes are largely just hot air or confusing time-skips.

Herzog, in particular, is misogynistic and abrasive and typically has the most to say.

Everyone tells each other to “Shut the fuck up!”

The narrator hadn’t made an appearance up until this point and disappears entirely afterwards.

At least the food was nicely detailed?

Sadly, this isn’t the case.

A blue haired woman wearing a yellow jacket with the hood pulled over her head looks at a police officer whose face is off-camera. It’s an anime cutscene from Wanted: Dead.

The neat ends above.

Seriously, that’s all you do.

I’d be okay with this setup if carving through said goons was a joyous, complex thing.

Stone shoots an armoured goon while Herzog and Doc stand there in Wanted: Dead.

The saddest thing about the game’s fights, is in its tiniest flashes of cool.

For the most part, though, the game is unsure how to accommodate your skills.

I’m genuinely a bit gutted about Wanted: Dead.

The result, sadly, is anything but.

It doesn’t know what it wants to be!

store your money folks.
