Very enjoyable with a great style, if you enjoyed the old collectathon games and are still a child at heart. The humor is spot on and almost always surprising, The game is definitely not perfect and has it's fair share of bugs, but so far I have been really enjoying myself.
Definitely one of the best games I have played and I highly recommend it to anyone that is a reasonable age. Very well made game, that I plan to play through again when I upgrade my GPU next.
I really did enjoy the game: strategic, hectic, difficult... everything I enjoy. If you enjoyed the old syndicate games you are bound to enjoy this as well. Some of the early missions could be very redundant, sending me to the same area multiple times, but fortunately this only happend when trying to get to the industrial sector. In spite of this minor issue, I would have given it a much better rating, but it was very buggy. Most of these bugs I would have only expected in a game before the first few patches. A few of the bugs I ran into: Getting stuck in the environment, fortunately most of the time this bug can be seen before it happen. When you take cover behind an object sometimes the arrow will be inside of the object. Sometimes when loading the game it would restart the tutorial in the middle of the game making it impossible to proceed without forcing the game closed. This appears to happen mostly when I accidentally clicked the load button twice. AI would occasionally get caught on scenery or had ridiculous pathfinding, this one just seemed to happen on occasion but would break immersion. I cannot give the game a bad review, though the bugs were plentiful it was a good game underneath, it just could have been a whole lot better. I still recommend that you buy it, but only if you can get it on sale.
I am not a big fan of metroidvanias, but this game has done it for me. Beautiful artwork, cryptic story and plentiful lore. It is good enough to make me want to play the super hard mode (one life). If you enjoy the previously mentioned genre you already own the game, but if you don't do yourself a favor and get this game. If you don't enjoy this type of game, reconsider and at the very least watch some of a playthrough before you write this game off.
