What an awesome, mind-bending experience. I cannot say enough about the creative world-building and effective mind games that it plays as you go deeper into the "Bureau" and unlock its secrets. For such a closed-off world, you get to experience so much and the somewhat uniform physical setting is more than enough to play around in as you unlock more abilities and learn more secrets about the story. The way that you can weave each power into combat is seamless and so fun to utilize; it's like you control Scarlet Witch with a gun, and it actually feels that way too. I don't think at any point during my playthrough did I feel like the physics the game sets up get betrayed; basically anything you can imagine you can do is possible in combat, and that's incredibly fun and satisfying. I still have a ton of DLC to play, but felt like I reached the end of my playthrough with the main game content and it had a very satisfying conclusion, so I'm not sure I'll go back and explore the new sectors anytime soon, but that's not a knock on the game at all. I feel very pleased with the arc of the story and gameplay.
