      This is the best review of it that I saw:

      Decided to pull the trigger, and give this game a shot. 
      Not the most competent shooter. It feels rushed, and the strategic elements are poorly planned out. With a bit more time and thought, I think the lone developer may have achieved their aims.
      It was a good attempt, but better luck next time. I look forward to this developers next project, whenever that appears. Probably in about 25 years to life.

    The brain drain in every department is obvious. How does a building with several of US’s move powerful “leaders” get breached this easily. I see only two ways this happens. One: it was staged in some way. Two: incompetent people have taken hold so deeply something stupid like a door was left open and unguarded.

      If it were staged why would they leave him alive? Incompetence is the easiest and simplest answer.

        Tinfoil hat answer: The fact that he is alive and did not even catch a bullet shows that it was staged. You want to tell me a guy with a shotgun runs towards American police officers and nobody even shoots him? Sounds fake. They must have had orders to not actually shoot him, stage a small gunfight and then just arrest him. The guy probably got a good paycheck for his upcoming prison time.

          the first time was totally staged, why not the 3rd time. of course its to shore up his low support, plus how badly the iran war is going on and hte epstein files, his distractions are only getting more desperate.

          American police are only good at shooting unarmed people. When faced with an actual real threat, they’re cowards.

          The DC, capitol, and federal police are generally better trained, and they’re unlikely to start shooting at a sprinting target when there’s a bunch of bystanders beyond him. All it takes is one guy to clothesline him.
