I feel like I'm in the minority but I really enjoyed this game. The absolute best part of this game is London, although I've never been there it was so realistic and vibrant, and getting chased by not only police cars but riot drones and other futuristic tech was never boring. The NPC gimic was really novel honestly, and by the end of the game I really cherished everybody on my team. Combat and stealth wasn't perfect, but the whole hacking thing added tons of flavour, whether I was distracting enemies out of sight for a stealth takedown or disabling doors to sneak into enemy compounds, it was always fun. And while there was definitely limitations to the story as there's no main character, I really loved taking down every faction controlling London, seeing how they worked all to get to Zero Day, the AI that has framed you for terrorist bombings. I've yet to play the rest of the series so I can't compare this to the other two but this was a great time.
