brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrt

tl;dr-If your a fan of Dishonored, Wolfenstein or Dead Space quality of gaming do not pass on this one. This is a top notch FPS sci-fi thriller where it pays to know each of your gun/nade/psi-power strengths and weaknesses so you know what to use against your foes, you scan them for this info, also your key/mouse bindings need forethought too with 6 guns and 1 melee wrench to manage along with 4 types of nades and many psi-powers. I was able to stay in the WSAD positioin by using the 1 to 4 number keys, caps-lock etc... and a gaming mouse with three extra buttons. As a bonus you are able to bind/re-bind everything in-game without leaving for menu and a cool fast access wheel that rocks, very well thought out by the devs. The graphics, story and challenges are very high quality, take your time and read everything, do the side missions and it will feel like a movie. The save system is well planned too with 20 main slots, 3 quick-saves and 3 auto-saves you are set, the only thing missing is a hot-key for quick-saves but its fast/easy enough, that is my one and only complaint.

I enjoyed my time with this game. But it's sloppy as shit, just like every Arkane game. Arkanes MO is make a game with a tonne of awesome ideas, fun gameplay, and then shit it up just enough that's frustrating and average when they should be some of the better games out there. fighting in 3D Space which I'm very used to courtesy old 6DOF, Shattered Horizon, etc games, is really rough. Being hit by electrostasis unguarded means you can't even aim. If you set up for hacking and fighting shit in 3D then boy is aligning stuff going to be annoying because you can't rotate or anything. Picking up heavy objects is near useless, because its a pain to move them how its implemented, and almost anything you can move can also just be moved with a nice explosion. Balance is ridiculous you go from being worthless to god with a certain (obvious) upgrades. The econmy for it is easy to destroy early on, which is fine, its a bit of a playground with actual stuff to it unlike most other sandbox garbage. two really bad side missions, a ton of bugs, easy to get stuck in geometry. But it's fun. Like I said. It's an Arkane game. They just need more time do fix shit up and do things in better ways. That said the ending(s) is fucking awful garbage. I suspected the twist pretty early and didn't know anything going into the game. Didn't even realize it was supposed to be a horror game. Yet another game that's a waste for illusion of choice sadly, and has the nerve to try to sidestep that fact by calling it out. Just because you call out that 'thinking what you did doesn't matter' doesn't mean its still wrong. And that's pissed me right off. Anyway I'm ranting now. Average game that should have been way better just like every other Arkane game.
