It seems like this game is partially set in both World Wars.<\/p>\n<p>As someone who loves Shenmue and mostly appreciates Yakuza&#8217;s wacky antics from afar, it&#8217;s hard to imagine a more tantalizing prospect than a darker, more intense RGG game that homages classic cinema. When one character asks our protagonist what kind of person he is and he responds, &#8220;I&#8217;ve been asking myself the same thing,&#8221; it gets me right in the mood for some whiskey-chugging, cigar-smoking, gritty noir goodness. I&#8217;d be in if it was only set in the &#8217;40s; given its duality, I&#8217;m doubly in.<\/p>\n<p>There are only brief snippets of gameplay\u2014chucking a man off a bridge, a QTE offering the choice to show someone &#8220;mercy&#8221; or &#8220;no mercy&#8221;\u2014but it all looks glossy and detailed as ever. Given that RGG has been on a tear of <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/like-a-dragon-infinite-wealth-review\/\">excellent games<\/a> that are <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/games\/action\/like-a-dragon-pirate-yakuza-in-hawaii-review\/\">starting to blend together<\/a> a bit, I&#8217;m eager to see what they can do with a concept as ambitious as Stranger Than Heaven seems to be.<\/p>\n<p>Stranger Than Heaven doesn&#8217;t have a Steam page just yet.
