A brilliantly crafted and performed story within a fully realised world. Multiple endings that all hit differently. Unfortunately many dialogue options and storylines don't change that much and roleplaying is mostly nonexistent beyond the surface level.

The combat is fun and satisfying requiring skillful positioning and tactics on harder difficulties. The stealth could use a bit more work. The stock neck snapping animation gets old very quickly. Hacking is another fun aspect of gameplay giving you a lot of options to do silly things with utility and battlefield control.

Unfortunately marred by bugs and glitches due to a rushed production schedule. Thankfully the Phantom Liberty expansion and the 2.0 update fully improved the game.
