    As someone who can barely remember the original games I could have been fine with a weaker and scared portrayal, especially towards the beginning of her career - but the tonal dissonance between that & her routinely slaughtering dozens of goons without showing any remorse destroyed the immersion. The whiplash between the two extremes was just too much.

      Yeah the gameplay definitely didnt match the tone. Killing was the only option for most of the game. In the cutscenes, she was portrayed as a survivor or whatever. Then in the actual gameplay she was a stone cold killer.

      Same problem with the harry potter game. It’s supposed to be about the school, but then you end up wandering the world murdering 100s of people
