The story has an interesting start, and I found myself genuinely interested in diving deeper into the corporate conspiracy and uncovering something that could potentially shape the future direction of mankind.

The game has possibly the best interpretation of a hacking mechanic I've experienced.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
55 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
What makes it timeless isn’t the gunplay (which is solid) but the freedom: stealth, hacking, persuasion, or all-out mayhem — your choice defines the mission.

Even today, the lighting through DXVK looks sharp and warm without breaking performance.

Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.

Michael McCann’s legendary electronic synth soundtrack provides incredible audio quality—shifting fluidly between haunting ambient tones during stealth investigation and aggressive, heavy rhythmic beats the exact millisecond a high-stakes combat sequence initiates.

Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
23 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
