This is one and of not my all time favorite game ever! I love the play your way aspect of it and that allows me to actually do things my way and it makes me feel like I am actually accomplishing everything in my own way rather than be on a specific path. I also love how somethings in the main quests of the game are randomized, like the location of that operator you have to shut down to stop the black box operators from spawning in. This is what I think is the ideal game, for me personally. No matter how many times I replay this game I never get bored of it.

Good review. You should check out some of the older games in the "immersive sim" lineage, with the same design philosophy as this one. Longing for the timeline where this took off and became a dark souls-esque watershed moment for game design, but this genre can't stop flopping.

Also fun fact, for inspiration the devs kept a Skyrim screenshot on the wall of the "glitch" where you can blind a shopkeeper by placing a bucket over their head and then steal everything without them seeing.
Jackho, thanks for that advice and the fun fact. And actually I have played other games of this genre, specifically the entire Bioshock series wilhich I absolutely love (besides Infinite which I like but don’t exactly for obvious reasons) and also played the System Shock remake demo which I had a blast with and now am looking to play the original games of System Shock now. I honestly think this genre deserves more love in my opinion because it has some really good games in it, they may not all be good or great but they are to me fun to play and experience.
