Story

On the contrary, I cant deny that the game has some amazing aspects, a story that shifts from great to mediocre at times, level design that features amazing world building, atmosphere and graphics, including a bonus of changing gameplay mechanics for the future of the series.

I was pleasantly surprised hearing this fine addition to the gameplay wearing my headphones!

The graphics are decent too, even if 47 this time around has a sever case of resting ♥♥♥♥♥ face syndrome, I've never seen someone frown so badly their entire face is warped permanently.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
28 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
It also features strange fuzzy audio at times within cutscenes, it basically just cuts to a lower quality- almost grainy audio that ruins immersion sometimes, however it also features extremely satisfying and fitting audio; the physics of bullet casings have amazing audio, footsteps sound great, the weapons sound amazing- specifically the fibre wire, it all plays into the vibe of the series.
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
21 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
This particular title offers some interesting game mechanics, like instinct, which you will have to use carefully on the highest difficulty levels.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
14 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The voice acting is top-draw, during the game and in cut-scenes and provides an experience beyond gaming, that flirts with cinema.
