Overall especially on sale for 2.99 this game is an absolute steal, I've played through it many many times and even though some of the animations feel a little stiff and outdated for NPCs and a few old feeling textures the game still holds up quite well and even on lowish settings can be beautiful to look at with its orange and blackish cyberpunk aesthetic, and I don't really know how you could play as Jensen and NOT feel like a badass, this game appeals to the power fantasy of Spy thriller action so well it could be the Stealth/action RPG that tickles your itch if you like cool covert action, a deep storyline, and a lot of open areas with places to explore and learn more about the world they've built.
Michael McCann’s soundtrack is still haunting — calm, mysterious, and powerful.
Meanwhile its running perfect on the steam deck... probably a windows compatibilty issue.... nothing new eh.
