95 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Aesthetics and technical limitations of its time aside, the gameplay and dialogue system is top-notch.
Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
94 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
It has many glaring flaws, but underneath is a solid game with an epic story that has only aged with time into a cult classic.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
42 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Tonally, the lighting has a true solidity no auto exposure washing everything out just so players can “see everything.”
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
35 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
There is ample voice acting, which is actually fairly good considering its age, but overall the sound quality isn’t great.
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
15 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The difficulty curve is sharp low skill levels mean brutal bullet spread and laughably weak melee weapons, while Master level feels like full on Adam Jensen takedowns.
Performance
Players who bring up Performance mostly praise it.
7 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Really solid immersive-sim/fps-rpg, genre that should deserve more recognition (and more games too). it aged a bit on some sides (like gunplay or animations) but it's an original game, with a lot of stuff to play with, between the items, character build and augmentations with a cool plot, that seems more relevant today, to follow on.
