There are great moments in this game. It has moments of great writing and it can be funny, wholesome, engaging, and dramatic, yet for every great moment this game has, it has twice as many dumb, contrived, ridiculous, laughable, annoying, or just plain boring moments.
Each episode feels very isolated from each other. We meet our new cast of characters for the episode, and then we move on. Rinse and repeat. You can't really have any character development, when we only have each character for an episode. The game struggles to have any interesting characters. The only time we get fun characters and give them a bit of room to breathe is in episode 3. Probably because they had to build up the love interests there, but then that episode ends and we are back to square one. And hope you enjoy constantly running into racist rednecks, because the game has far more of them than it has interesting characters.
Instead, the main focus is on the Diaz brothers themselves, but it isn't done well enough or interesting enough to carry the entire narrative. Throw in the contrived situations that keep happening, and it is very difficult to be invested in what happens.
To top it all off, Sean and Daniel could have just done absolutely nothing in Episode 1, and they would have ended up with a better ending, than the supposed "best ending" of the game. What was the point of any of it? Or the point of this game?
