Is it as nuanced a game as the original or even Invisible War, no not really. However it does a lot of things differently and in some cases even better. A tighter story tighter gameplay, and of course Adam "I never asked for this" Jensen who might just be the best character in the series. If you're a purist of the original game and never gave this one a fair shot please give it another go, the game might just suprise you with it's still poignant subject matter that only gets better with age.
