First of all: If you get a black screen by starting a new game try this: Deactivate every overlay application (nividia, steam, etc) start it as a administrator. The gameplay is good. It has a few questionable design choices like universal ammo and dumped down roleplaying. However It feels like deus ex. It has the hacking like the original deus ex. The main character talks like JC Denton. It let me solve problems the way I want. I realy want to like it... But: Loading screens completely ruin this game. It takes forever to load a new area. that may not sound too bad until you realize how small the areas are and how often you have to load a new map. It's a real shame, a good game is here but buried under horrible optimisation.
(Iam halfway through the game while writing this) This game has a great story, works flawless, has a amazing soundtrack and interesting gameplay mechanics. The puzzles are well implemented in the game world, Avoiding combat and facing enemies seems to be both a viable strategy the apartment is well designed and has a great atmosphere monster design is most of the time splendid best antagonist I have seen for a long time However this game has issues: the sound design on some enemies is just terrible, this hurts the atmosphere alot the game get's a bit annoying by constantly returning to the apartment to save etc the game seems a bit too easy (playing on normal) most weapons feel redundant the game seems rushed it's definitely worth it if you want a classic horror game but expect flaws
