Reaching into the past with a bionic grip

"The absence of death in most people's early years creates a psychic vacuum of sorts. For many, thoughts of a nuclear confrontation are one's first true brush with nonexistence, and because they are the first, they can be the most powerful and indelible." The Wrong Sun , Douglas Coupland.
HIGH It's Oblivion. .. with guns!LOW It's just—sigh—Oblivion with guns.WTF How does putting on a lab coat make one better at science?

Highly polished... and hard to find
HIGH A notable level of design and polish make it go down smooth like butter.LOW A lot of grinding is required to ensure progress.WTF Spending points to "reveal" abilities, then spending more to earn them.

Playing the wrong half of the story
HIGH I got to shoot Castro. That's interesting, at least.LOW The part where the game tries to explain that killing a drug-addicted prostitute is basically a public service.WTF So Robert Duvall was too good to be in Godfather III , but he'll be in the mediocre Godfather video games? How bad was that movie?

More than a mouthful

He's after his cheddar... if by "cheddar" you mean "diamond-encrusted skull"

Pick up item. Examine.
HIGH The puzzles all made sense, which is rare for the genre.LOW Coming in under an hour, it's over too soon.WTF Episodes 2, 3, 4 and 5 better not be too far behind.
