Unique and engaging
A game about spies, cover operations and betrayal that manages to keep you on your toes most of the time. So the world is after some completely insane technologies that can change the future of the humanity, cure diseases, end hunger, teleportation and invisibility, but instead of celebrating this every faction seeks to outdo the other and get as many of these technologies for itself. The faction that manages to unlock the most of them will be in the best position to raise to the top and eventually dominate the world. So in this context you're getting the task to secretly infiltrate other factions, steal their research and scientists, sabotage them and of course, help your faction raise to the top. The game starts slow, each faction pretending to play nice, somehow old alliances are respected, and you cannot just make yourself too visible by barging in other nation's territory and starting a rampage. But as the game progresses the reality settles in. Others get the upper hand, your scientists are kidnapped, tech stolen, network hacked, agents killed. You start to understand that the surface calm is actually masking a complete underground war between faction and you give up on morals and dive in in full force. You will lose initially, but learn more and more about the world and how everyone, including the so called friends, are all just a bunch of ruthless a-holes that will betray you whenever you show any weakness. By my forth everything became clear. There are no morals, there are not friends or enemies. The world is your chess table and you're here to win trough any means necessary. Replayability is decent, choosing other factions and agents will surely give you different options each time. The gameplay is nice, the graphics are decent and it is quite well polished. I give it 4/5 stars as I feel like it could benefit from more content, more side stories, more technologies and so on, on short it was good enough that I kid of want seconds.
