got hammered with some pals, made an impromptu D&D campaign based on the story, ended up getting punched in the face when the whole party died right before the end because they were too drunk to figure out the last puzzle
10/10 would do it again

if I recall, this was supposed to be the second game in a trilogy, but it felt like nothing happened, and they still haven't followed it up
if in Human Revolution you're screwing up the Illuminati's plans, in Mankind Divided it's more like you're being mildly irritating but not actually accomplishing much
really a shame, what's there is good but I was hoping for so much more
I really hope they get around to wrapping up the story at some point, but it doesn't seem likely - what we'll probably see is a reboot in five years featuring Jensen but missing 90% of the plot threads carried by the first two
also, the very first thing you should do it turn off the sharpen effect, god it's hideous

fun for a while, but just like Shadow of War, ended up dropping it before finishing it, got boring too quickly
really doesn't deserve the hate it gets IMO
I think a lot of it comes from the controls on the Wii version which were hot garbage, but being able to play with more traditional controls brings it on par with better appreciated entries in the series

this game really took me by surprise, kind of came out of left field
I definitely liked the first act the best, the mystery really pulled me in, along with the artstyle and sound design, never thought a card game could build up such a sense of dread
that said, the game is really frontloaded in that regard - the second act, while I understand that it's necessary for the overall plot, kind of popped the balloon a bit - it took away a good deal of the sense of unease the game builds
it still maintained an undertone that something was "off", but I feel it was too long and tedious, and the oppressive atmosphere was completely missing aside from the occasional hint - it almost made me lose interest in finishing the game
the third act was also good, but I feel that the game had shown too much of its hand by then, it never reaches the height of the first act
that said, I did find myself getting sucked into it again, just not to the same degree as the first act
I also feel like the big reveal was a bit of a letdown, but maybe that's just my own tastes
in terms of gameplay, it seems hard at first, but as soon as you figure out the game it becomes really easy to break, to the point where you end up doing it accidentally sometimes
it's definitely fun and worth a run, but after one playthrough I haven't had any interest in going through it again
