It's not as tragic as people pretend it to be. The gameplay is decent, especially the stealth part. Much more rewarding and nuanced than the previous entries. When it goes loud the quality drops quite a bit though. The graphics are also surprisingly nice and it runs well on my low-mid end rig apart from some mild stuttering during the first minute of a mission. The music and level design are probably the two highlights, however, the former is not as memorable as the previous game's soundtrack. I can't wait to pick it up for €5 next summer.
