I love this game’s story , I really do but the cutscenes really hurt it in my opinion.
When you actually play the game slowly and pay attention, you can overhear and notice so many cool little details that when combined, create a really interesting (and not so different from ours) world.
I also love to open the fandom wiki page and just read random articles to learn more about this world. This aspect of the game is genuinely fantastic IMO.
However then there are the cutscenes…..to me they feel insufficient and weak. You go from well developed world building to lame and rushed spy movie that acts as a weak glue trying to hold the good parts together.
And I know that this is due to budget but the cheap and ugly look of H3 cutscenes makes this even worse. H1 cutscenes were at least cinematic but everything after that straight up just fails in my view.
