Description
Loyalty carries a price and no one knows this more than agent Michael Thorton. A talented young agent cast out by his government, Thorton is the only one with the information needed to stop an impending international catastrophe. To do so means he must cut himself off from the very people he is sworn to protect. As players determine how to accomplish different objectives, the decisions made and actions taken in each mission will ultimately transform the type of secret agent Michael Thorton will become. Every choice the player makes as Michael Thorton will carry consequences for his future and the fate of the world.

Controller support half baked

This game can't be played with a controller. I purchased because they said part of the update was controller support. Yes, you can move around, but you can't pick anything up - need to press space bar key. Can't even get past the start of the game. Don't buy if you're planning on playing on a ROG Ally or Lenovo Go.

10 Minutes played: headaches...

I was prepared that there would be some obstacles to overcome - but I bought it for the story elements. I did not get there. The game is locked at 62 fps - you have te re-configure a bit (bsmoothing) but then it still does not work properly. Flimmering, jitter, hitches. I basically stopped at the 1st computer hack, crawling headaches already there, 2 minutes at the computer and they broke out in full. Add to this godawful movement and that was that for me.

Not bad, but far away from good.

I had played Alpha Protocol back then (2012/2013) when it was a supplement in a gaming magazine and played it again 1 year ago. Even then, 2 years after release, the game was hopelessly outdated. The graphics are sometimes very muddy. The combat system is very incorrect and unclean. The controls are okay, but can also be awkward at times. The story is unfortunately very predictable. I think there have been few games that I have enjoyed as little as this one. I found some of it more of an imposition to struggle through. The mini-games are annoying and some of the dialog is a joke. All in all, typical Obsidian. They had great ambitions, great ideas and creative approaches, but in the end they didn't bring it all together properly.
