Arriving fashionably late from August's Leipzig Game Convention, there's a whole seven minutes of Stranglehold gameplay waiting for you in the movies tab above - demonstrating a run-and-gun-through of the Tea House level.
While the developer commentary is a little dry - we ask you, how can a man sound so unenthused when he's just slow-mo shot some poor thug in the family jewels? - the action speaks for itself, with the restaurant left looking like a war zone by the time Inspector Tequila is done.

Stranglehold cares more about making you look like a colossal badass than making you sweat out learning complicated controls, so it's not just the developer's familiarity with the game that makes it flow so smoothly. It's as much a do-it-yourself John Woo movie as arcade gunfighter - and we're pretty sure we'll never get tired of coming up with new takes when it arrives next year.
Dragon Age actor says the last time he played Inquisition, he upheld the RPG tradition led by Baldur's Gate 3 actors and romanced his own character: "Which is the best — the best"
Some GTA 5 players can't bring their characters to the new PC upgrade, and the open-world game's mixed Steam reviews are hammering FPS caps and a lack of text chat
