Excellent visuals, satisfying stealth, cool weapons/skills, good exploration... all in an ultra sci-fi setting.

Performance
Players who bring up Performance mostly praise it.
Finding the right graphics settings is a game/challenge of itself, but once you found the best settings for your system and it runs at 60 fps without those weird post-processing artefacts (is that a UE5 thing?) , you can really appreciate the visuals of the levels (i had to configure the game externally with the NVIDIA app).
