Overpromised, but whats in here is great
If youre a main-story kinda guy this will be an incredible experience. The sidemissions are very reminicent of GTA but with much better story and dialogue. Literally every skill tree is viable: Play a typical shooter, stealth around, hack devices and enemies, slice them up with knives and swords, or just beat the crap out of people with your fists. And you wont be at a disadvantage with any option. There are things that feel like they were cut out for time, like certain characters introducing themselves over the phone that you never meet in person, a 6th attribute, non-story Braindances. The bugs do make me want to wait to play more, until its fixed and I can get immersed again without constantly being reminded that I'm playing a game. So this doesnt bother me too much. I got my fix for now and am excited to play when its patched. My main critique is that while there are dialogue options and lifepaths, it feels like all seem to end in the same place. There's no dialogue I could choose that felt like it had an impact on anything storywise. No skill-checks, no making enemies with your decisions, etc. I havent completed it yet, so maybe thatll still comes, but I doubt it.
Is this helpful to you?
