The shooting didn't feel quite right. Only the sniper rifle felt right to use but obviously that limits the play style. The most effective was just to snipe as much as possible and then sneak around and stab dudes. It never felt like I had much choice even though it was presented as a "open" game. It felt a little broken.
The actual loop of the game was fine but really it is how most games work. You had a few lives and when those are done you start over. You can keep some stuff but usually not everything. The real kicker though was that it was kind of buggy. One too many hard crashes. The last one happened just after a difficult battle and lost all progress on that level. Pretty frustrating. I was maybe half-way through the game but didn't feel any desire to continue. May pick it up later but probably not on xbox series x or until they do a lot of patching.
