The over-the-top VO work is a feature not a bug. 😂
I love this series so much! It's been ages since I played any of these early games in the series, but I've got DW8 and DW9 on the PS5 right now and it proves that once you settle on a system that works, you can just... keep doing it. (Provided you don't go the COD route and make a new game every year and oversaturate yourself)
