I suspect this would be a great co-op game. Personally I played it single player and it worked fairly well.

Pros:

• Good stealth system
• Innovative hacking that works well as both single player and co-op
• Good voice acting
• Decent graphics

Cons:

• A few of the animations were a bit buggy/could be better
• While the story is decent enough to carry the game, it fails to get you emotionally involved enough at the beginning to really care about your goal.
• There didn’t seem to be much difference between normal and easy difficulty (at least if you’re taking the non-violent stealth approach)
• You can’t see your footprint (how much evidence you left) for missions after you leave the post-game summary, so if you’re trying to get the Whisper achievement, you’ll have to keep your own notes or you’ll probably end up having to replay all levels.
• In the in-between mission area there’s a firing range, but it seems like you’re not able to use it which is unfortunate

Verdict: 8/10

I genuinely don’t understand how so many people like this game. Apart from the collectible-induced nightmare, the story just isn’t that great, and neither of the endings were satisfying to me.

Pros:

• There is a story, so people who like story based games may like this
• Well voice acted

Cons:

• An epic amount of collectibles that must be collected in one playthrough
• The collectables don’t add anything to the story
• The collectables are well hidden and many are missable
• I wasn’t a fan of how they did the ‘cyberpunk’ feel. Some of it was good, but sometimes it just felt like they stuck glowing lights and/or screens all over the place whether it made sense or not
• I don’t undstand why people seem to enjoy the story. There weren’t any moments I would describe as a significant twist, and the main plot didn’t hold my interest at all.

Verdict: 5/10

If you’re into renovation and interior design then you’ll enjoy this game.

Pros:

• The workshop allows for a huge variety of items
• The tool upgrades worked well and at a good pace
• If you really hate cockroaches you can replace them with glass
• The mini map (when unlocked) can make finding things you missed cleaning/fixing much easier
• I really liked the unique/themed houses

Cons:

• You can’t move/remove/place windows, which sometimes limits renovation ideas
• You can’t paint/tile around the bottom of stairs
• There are items & tiles in houses that you can’t buy yourself
• What’s up with the electric window cleaner? Where can I get one of those? I’m pretty sure it’s not actually a thing.
• There’s a fairly wide variety of paint colours, but personally I found most of them pretty ugly
• The number of different houses available isn’t as large as it looks, as several of them (especially the first few) are pretty much identical

Verdict: 8/10
