Alpha Protocol

Obsidian made a spy thriller, and did an enjoyable job of it, but witha few caveats. One, and this is important, IT IS AN RPG FIRST AND A SHOOTER SECOND. Keep that in mind, as if you, for example, try to use a rifle with no points in rifle use, you'll have the aim of someone whom has never used a rifle in their life. Conversly, if you use that exact same rifle with at least five points in rifle handling, pinpoint accuracy is yours. Just Keep in mind THIS IS AN RPG FIRST, and your time will go well.

Alpha Protocol is such a hidden gem, a classic in my eyes. Hours of fun and good amount of replayability. Sure it's got some jank but man is it such a fun game. Solid story and mechanics, a unique RPG unlike anything else out there in a world of fantasy and sci-fi rpg.

It may be a bit rough around the edges, but it's still one of the best rpgs I've ever played.

A lot of this game isn't perfect like the combat for emaple BUT overall the story and how the world reacts to you is an amazing and a great way the use the RPG mechainces that Bioware would be smart to go back to. If you enjoy video games like Mass Effect or Dragon Age then you'll like this.

Maybe we never got the sequel because Alpha Protocol is just so good a follow up can only disappoint. I've got 132.8 hours logged on Steam for this game. In a year, max two I will play it again adding another 30h+ to playtime grinding everything. I might even try to play something else than non-lethal stealth which I've always done. Alpha Protocol has it all. Great story, mystery/detective, master mind plan, action shooter, romance, RPG and (kind of) Open World , fractions/allies/enemies, great characters, choices matter. I just had to write a review because GOG labeled this "Good Old Game" and I totally agree. I'll forget about the 'old' when you play and this is a must play. They should have made a sequel. Bastards.
