This prequel to Lies of P is everything that was good about the base game, but elevated into a 12-hour long campaign of pure awesomeness.

The story, level design, bosses and weapons are just state of the art. The final chapter had my eyes all teared up all the time.

Each chapter even has self-contained small side quests that don’t give much of a challenge but are great pieces of world-building to make Krat an even cooler setting.

Raw and gut-wrenching are perfect adjectives for this one. It wants to get its message across and pulls no punches in doing so: nobody wins a nuclear war.

While this is probably my least favorite of the trilogy, it’s still one of the best movies ever made. An outstanding achievement in all regards. I can’t believe these movies exist.

The extra scenes for the extended edition are also pretty neat, and add some extra context that is very welcome for a fan like me. The overall movie pacing gets a bit worse which is why it’s totally understandable why they were cut from the theatrical release. And another reason I’m glad the extended editions exist!

I just wish the final Saruman scene was in this movie instead of the next one. I feel like it’d wrap around this movie’s story a bit more nicely.

Downtown Gramado is proof that something can be both overrated and incredibly beautiful. Nothing beats it on a rainy winter night.

Araucárias are my favorite tree. They are charming, look very unique, and their seeds make for amazing winter food.
