Ignoring all the technical issues with the game, it's an ok game and nothing more. 1. The open world is barebones, there are no interactions and the AI is poor. Compare it to say GTA V, where traffic and people react to you and don't appear/disappear out of nowhere, where you can shoot a car's tires, windows even gas tank, and the result is a very bad impression. The one good thing is the verticality but even then it's only for a few locations and only comes into play in one story mission. I heard there used to be an option to climb with the mantis blades so i guess at some point it was used for more, but that's been cut i guess. 2. The customization is non existent. If you want to change your look you are going to take a hit to your stats, a poor choice to say the least. You have all these cars and bikes but there is zero customization for any of them. 3. Gameplay is also barebones. Now the gunplay and melee combat feel good, but there are very few options in how you use them. Usually going guns blazing is the best. The cybernetic augments don't play a big role in how you play with the exception of the ones for the legs, arms and hacking. Compare this with say the last 2 Deus Ex games and the result is pretty underwhelming. 4. Difficulty is too low, even on very hard. At the start of the game it's fine, but play for too long and the game becomes trivial. Using hacking is the worst, you should only use it if you don't feel like playing the game and want to see the story. Smart guns become room wipes, charge guns become one hit killers. The barely balanced option is for ricochet or melee. 5. Finally the story. Now this is supposed to be an rpg, but you will not play the story the way you want. There are only really 3 choices at the ending and that's it, no other character development. The stakes are also too low and you have minimal impact on the world. It's not a bad game, but every thing it does was done miles better by other games nearly a decade ago.
