About
If you want a straightforward, tough vigilante action story with heavy gunplay and a revenge-driven hook, this fits; Not for you if you dislike grim violence or morally messy justice like in Murphy's Law.
Pros: harder-hitting than expected; lots of gunplay; less exploitative than earlier | Cons: still harsh violence; morally troubling choices; thin character depth
