A fine game that's not arkane's best but still fairly interesting. I really hope it sells well so arkane can have a hit on their hands for once.
The game just feels like they built it around the complaint that non lethality being encouraged despite all the weapons being built around the lethal route. Everything kills and the death doesn't matter since you aren't actually killing anyone.
Way. WAY. too easy for its own good.
Also terrible job explaining the game in advertisements.

Pros:
general gameplay design elements, how everything feels
the art style of the world, its 60s-70s feel but rundownness
Voice Actors do a great job the majority of the time
Level Design is good, especially with certain places like the art bunker and the mansion

Cons:
The difficulty is way too low for the combat to feel very satisfying. General good feeling dishonored/prey but the enemies are way too easy.
The comedic banter can get a little grating sometimes. Especially near the beginning.
The story hints at something much larger but doesn't talk about a whole lot about it. A simple story is what i've come to expect with arkane though.
melee combat is incredibly simple and a bit janky if you actually want to use it beyond just stealth.

6/10
