A negative review I read... ironclad Send a noteboard - 07/09/2011 10:06:24 AM
I will preface this by saying that it's not a game for everyone. It's got heavy RPG elements, it's a sci-fi stealth game with shooting elements, it is story, character, and dialog heavy, it's story is political and filled with conspiracy, the gameplay has at least as much waiting as it does action, and it will require lots of saving and reloading if you want to be the awesome stealth cyborg that you're meant to be.

If none of that fazes you - or indeed, if those all sound like advantages - then you should buy this game. It's extremely well done, and I loved every second of it.


...claimed that while it is possible to play it as a shooter, the game basically punishes you for it, by making you very vulnerable and giving you less points than for the sneaky way, which they seem to encourage. Can you confirm that?

You mustn't be afraid to dream a little bigger, darling.

The ironic part about the stealth emphasis... *Now with relevant PennyArcade Link!* Zalis - 08/09/2011 05:45:25 AM 693 Views
That does seem to be true, although I never even tried to play it as a shooter. It's not one. *NM* lord-of-shadow - 08/09/2011 05:41:47 PM 242 Views
