Plays better than Jak II, with more variety and less running between missions, yet somehow ends up being more forgettable. The passage of time and more mediocre modern AAA games hasn't really changed my initial impression of this one. It's like a fever dream that ended quickly and won't be remembered next week. The final boss is a standout set piece that just got folded into my childhood memories of Jak II, so at the end I was confused when it hadn't happened yet. Everything between the ending of Jak II and that final boss was just a blur, and it'll probably remain that way. Hopefully the side content won't be as infuriating as its predecessor.
