A superb "tacticool" arcade TPS experience. Just a very fun time if you're simply in it to enjoy the combat and the cinematic look and feel of it all, as it very frequently manages to feel like a movie and looks the part too, with some cool stylistic choices and quite pretty graphics at times. It's even fairly challenging, which is not what I've come to expect from a mainstream shooter played on medium difficulty. It requires good positioning and thought, especially during stealth which is probably the most enjoyable method of getting through a level.

It's definitely not the smoothest experience on PC though, as it really doesn't run that well with frequent FPS drops, occasional stutters and just an inconsistent framerate overall. In engine cutscene segments/scripted gameplay moments also sometimes lack random sound effects which does make the game feel jankier than it is. Even then I really didn't find all of it that intrusive and I really am quite picky about this stuff, so it's not something to be put off about.

Basically, as long as you take a minute to unlock the framerate and get your full refresh rate (PC Gaming Wiki) and push through the first 2 levels, which aren't the best in my opinion, you're in for a very fun time!
