Shooting is definitely crisp and responsive, though years of having it ingrained that pulling the trigger when not aiming down the sight means shooting from the hip will likely lead to some missteps as here that’s how you attack with your blade. Firearms can also be equipped with a mod that offers a unique ability (such as temporary spikes to deal damage when enemies attack you or imbuing your ammo with fire damage) that can be used after it charges up. You’ll also have a selection of items that can be used via the d-pad.

Combat here is split into two areas: melee and ranged. Switching between the two is easy as you simply move the right stick to aim your gun. When the gun isn’t raised you’re either punching and kicking or using one of the handheld weapons (i.e., knives, wrenches, stun rods, etc.) to beat your foes to a pulp. Prompts will also appear for one-hit kills when approaching undetected or standing near an object that you can interact with, such as a table saw.

By far the biggest change is the introduction of a new Jack robot that plays an active role in both attack and defense. He’ll start off with very simple abilities like briefly blinding enemies and pinging areas to reveal enemy locations, but you’ll acquire more as you progress as well as find components to upgrade existing ones. It’s the best kind of addition for a long-running series — one that enhances gameplay without fundamentally altering it.

You’ll also possess a selection of powers, headlined by the telekineticability to grab objects from the environment and hurl them with great velocity at hapless foes. You can also gather debris and use it as a shield, bend enemies to your will, levitate in the air and more. All of these skills draw from a single pool of power, which, like the ammo, also regenerates, tying all of your offensive and defensive maneuvers to timers. Only health requires you to pick up objects, in this case small beads that drop from defeated foes.
