This game is great, I like Laura's evolution into a monster, by the end of it she really seems to enjoy killing. Interesting little detail in the end game, if you go back to earlier sections of the island and pick off the guys who are left, like say if you were trying to get all the collectibles, they don't spawn back. By the last achievement on your save file, it's just an empty island. I like to think that's canon.
