The UI is dated but the gameplay is solid. If you liked it back in the 90s you'll like it now. If you're new to it then you'll find the UI a little clunky and some of the mechanics are a bit shallow but its still a solid game with quite a few hours of replayabilty in it
I wanted to like this game. It has a few things going for it. It does a good job of building an atmosphere of paranoia where you start to question yourself and what you are doing. Unfortuanely, that's the end of the good stuff. If you've played any modern RPGs with lots of dialogue you know how small choices can have a big impact. Not so with this game. Its all a lie. The contempt the game producers have for the audience is hinted at in the beginning background choices but really shines at the end of the game when EVERYTHING you did or said is rendered moot. There is only 1 ending. Did you like how Mass Effect 3 neutered your decisions? This is worse than that. There is a message that you will learn and they are going to club you over the head with it. If they included a few different endings based on your game choices that would have made a huge difference but this game was not written for you, it was written for them. Aside from the ending there is a few things throughout the story that took me out of the game as it progressed. Some of the things said or referenced were a little off for the story being set in 1989. The dialogue was cringe inducing as it comes across as being written by people whose only male/female interactions are learned from the movies and not with real people. If you can grab this game while its on sale its okay for killing a couple hours of your time but don't think that you have any control over the events because you don't. They will tell you how things are and your opinion doesn't matter.
