Alpha Protocol

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.

A game that revolutionized relationships with NPCs despite having sort of janky spy game mechanics, pretty amazing game either way

The combat gameplay is borderline Naked Gun levels of comedy and jank, most of the line delivery is eye rolling and the story is both boring and very low stakes... But i still think this game would be perfect for a remaster, Obsidian makes fantastic RPGs and this one is no exception your choices and conversations shape the world around you and the characters you will save or kill have real impact on the story.

I played this bitd on xbox. It really felt like it was configured for a controller. A spy game with some cool mechanics and felt like it was riffing on Jason Bourne and Mission Impossible. It was however quite janky in places and some builds were pretty naff and others were pretty OP. Shotgun and/or melee builds for instance were pretty awful and some boss fights could be brutal if you played one. Pistol and stealth builds were incredibly poweful. The pistol had an ability to one shot enemies and could be chained to auto take down up to 3 at a time. It was also useful against bosses as well. I don't know if this was ever addressed when it switched over to PC. Its difficulty system was unique as I recall. You picked between an unskilled agent or a vet with established skills at the beginning.

Played well on my PC handheld AokZoe A1pro I never played the game but the ps3/360 era was my favorite time, so I knew what I was getting myself into. Old school RPG with jank, but it was a blast to play. It's a rarity to play as a spy, even with the jank Solid 60 fps, recommend for 360/ps3 gamers
