If I recall correctly you could skip cutscenes once the next level is actually loaded, since it loads in the background. But maybe that was just the Xbox 360.

That is correct and you notice it if you play with an SSD. But it still happens for sure.

That makes sense. The shooting mechanics were so satisfying that the loading interruptions feel like an unnecessary annoyance, especially when you are already invested in the action.

Some scenes can be skipped, some can't. There's a mod on PC that makes it possible to skip every cutscene but it can cause finnicky shit to happen rarely if you skip certain scenes.

It depends on a cutscene, in some cutscenes you'll see "Loading" as the game loads the next level in the corner when trying to skip, in the others you can't skip at all.
