The story in 20 words or less: You and wife die in car crash, she's in heaven, you're in Purgatory - Hell needs a hitman killing Lucifer's generals.
Almost everything in this game is flashback to earlier days; secret area wall panels that slide down to reveal floating skull power-ups, the SHRING! sound of picking up floating armor or the CHUNK! of picking up a box of ammo for you 200 round no-reload-needed shotgun.If you don't look too deep, this game can be a lot of fun. It's got a metal soundtrack and the main levels culminate in boss battles with giant creatures. The big challenge here and throughout the game is to not over think yourself.
Remember the days when gigantic Shadow-of-the-Colossus sized creatures didn't have to be taken down by some environmental stumble into a conveniently placed stalagmite? These guys do - grab 100 rockets, it's party time. twitch-twitch BOOM!
Mental Note: If I am ever at some point a "boss" in some sort of dangerous "hell", I will not stand in an arena full of ammo for weapons I don't even use. It just wouldn't make sense. Or at least fill it with faulty ammo that explodes or fires backwards.
