I didn't know anything about this game until I saw Civvie 11's videos on Youtube. But this game is a time capsule of early 00's juvenile edgy humor. It's not a deep or thought provoking story. The graphics certainly aren't pretty. But smoking a crack pipe and going on a scythe rampage after stealing a police uniform is worth hours of fun.
From a story standpoint it's an awesome tale of deception, turncoats and cyberpunk dystopia. The gameplay makes every point you invest in make a difference, with only 2 skill that aren't useful(swimming and environment are dump stats). For those who say the shooting is bad, you're forgetting it's an immersive sim. If you don't invest in your weapon skill then you're not gonna have much fun. That being said the AI isn't the greatest. Enemies forget about you in seconds a la an Elder Scrolls game. It's also pretty clunky, which was the style at the time. Despite the flaws, I wholeheartedly reccomend this game. Buy it at full price even. There's a reason it's held in high regard.
