I finished it at least 20 times since release (on x360, xOne, Steam, GOG), I know it's a hated game, I have yet to hear a genuinely good argument against it. Their loss tbh. For those interested in the gameplay more than fitting in with the "purists", here are a few cool things: - you can customize difficulty to a great degree - you can finish the ENTIRE game with NO alert, NO kills, NO upgrades, in the hardest difficulty while getting ALL the loot. Not many games let you ever do that. Even "special events" do let you sneak by and you will NEVER be forced into combat of non-stealth BS. This is a stealth game that doesn't assume that you'll get bored and you want an action sequence in the middle of it, to keep the dopamine flawing. There is a boss (which usually suck in stealth games), this one is a matter of learning a safe path leveraging shadows. No "jump over the laser with precise timing" like the end boss of DOOM 2016... No gimmick, you came to sneak around, you'll sneak around from START TO FINISH. I can't overstate how much I appreciate that. Great replayability thanks to the customizable difficulty. It gives you so much control over how challenging the game will be. Tons of options for HUD, too! You can remove almost every help overlay. Games works great with AZERTY, and 21:9 aspect ration out of the gate. It's stable, runs GREAT on any computer from the past decade. Very cheap. If you've skipped the game for the past 11 years because of what the youtubers told you... I feel for you. But you can fix that for a couple bucks :)
