Thats the thing, this game is not the kind of game at all where you are meant to play through the story mode and thats it. Its a game where you play it over and over to get new skills, learn how to fight better. Its extreme fun. The gameplay is made up by how much the game makes you want to play it again. I got it in the morning, finished it by the afternoon and i went straight back to the start of the game the same day.
Theres great satisfaction in completeing it the first time, and then having a second play through with your updated abilities, look and weapons carried over and your knowledge of how to fight that makes you feel like a badass. And then comes the 3rd play through when youve mastered it even more.
Play mission 18 in VR if you want to be a true master of defense. It's the perfect practice for Revengenace mode.
