We were surprised at how much came flooding back to us as soon as we fired each one of them up, which is a testament to both the gameplay and the strength of the narrative.

Eventually their relationship warms, but it takes a long time and Patel is the one that ensures there’s actually some goodwill left to be drummed up.
