Didn’t like how fast the threat was neutralized in Stellar Basin. Fun fact, I thought that giant octopus/squid thing responds to fast movement. So I tried so move as slowly as I can, still I couldn’t get inside, but it was a nice interaction.

The swamp unfortunately has no danger whatsoever, aside from the mind suckers which can be avoided very easily, and it was the first time I fished at night with minimal consequence.

Speaking of threats the Gale Rock threat was amazing, you never get rid of it, it kept chasing me when I got back to do the Iron Rig DLC.

Devil’s Spine is absolutely great. The vibe, the maze like layout, people complained it was too short, I visited Stellar Basin before the swamp and broke the sequence. I still love lava land.

Now the DLCs: The Iron Rig really felt like “Hey you know how there are so many inconvenient things about this game? Here’s a DLC to fix all of that”. The Iron Rig has this material harvester which would have been so, so useful when I was upgrading my boat in the early game. By the end materials have no use whatsoever.

Visually the Ice DLC was good, I just didn’t like how my fish kept rotting even though I was in a snowy place. Having the Icebreaker was great, and the narwhal almost didn’t pose any threat.

I think if the world got pulled more into your descent it would make it more impactful

Yeah which is a thing that we the Iron Rig kinda attempts and it was really nice. Oil and dark ooze spreading everywhere, I cleaned some of it in the areas that I frequent regularly. Also I’m still bothered by that Scientist who jumps overboard and no one reacts to it. You can’t even tell anyone about it. “Like yeah we had a scientist, the scientist was a distraction, the scientist is gone now 💀”

Man there was nothing more terrifying than having all of those assassinations backfire at me in the swamp level, it was truly a surreal experience seeing the effect I had on the city. I played it again as a ghost, and I felt like the game was rewarding me for restraining myself. Still I came to play as an assassin, not a thief, so I still assassinate everyone in my path. It really encouraged a replay, I think I replayed it 3 or 4 times.

If you watched the show, there is a description of characters in the description of each episode, I don’t know if any of these descriptions were mentioned in the show though. So in that description, it mentions that Lieutenant O’Hara is this genius that is so smart, they had to invent new charts to quantify her intelligence. Yet in almost any scenario where planning is required, O’Hara spouts the stupidest thing ever, to which Duke responds with something actually smart. Even if you don’t count that youtube description as canon, she is still regarded in the show as very smart, planning ahead, been on Cobra’s tail for a long time. As I’m finishing season 1, I still see O’Hara saying some incoherent nonsensical shit, I feel like she has been written pretty badly.

I mean Duke is the leader, tunnel rat is like a scout, roadblock is tough, Snake Eyes is silent, what is Scarlet supposed to be? If she gets most of her intel from her broker, why not cut Scarlet and let duke talk to the broker? What is her purpose, apart from being the only woman in the team?

Also for the longest time I thought G.I Joe was a plot by the army to get more kids to sign up.
