Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
35 of 169 sampled reviews raised it
A good immersive sim with an ambitious narrative, fun gameplay, great atmosphere, and nice electronic/jungle soundtrack.
Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
27 of 169 sampled reviews raised it
The story is interesting and the mystery around the secret organization that kidnaps the player character was enough to get me to finish the game (despite my aforementioned issues with the game), but it's not entirely obvious what the consequences for a lot of the dialogue options are, and it can lead to some difficulty with decision making.
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
9 of 169 sampled reviews raised it
Fans of immersive sims like Cruelty Squad and Deus Ex will feel right at home with this - the learning curve of unique systems is a big part of the satisfaction.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
9 of 169 sampled reviews raised it
A dirty Deus Ex-like with rough edges, a great soundtrack, and a lot of heart.
