It's been 2 years since the release of this game so I thought it was time to revisit it and finally post a review.
My initial experience at launch was great and the second time around was no different! I may already be familiar with everything at this point, but it doesn't take away from any of the fun to be had. Arkane never misses and this game is just perfect for those itching for a similar experience to dishonored.
This game is brimming with charisma. The characters are well crafted and I especially love the player character Colt. He's a breath of fresh air when it comes to fps game protagonists who in my mind are often rather dull. All of Colt's commentary is so fun to listen to and I love how he feels so human with all his imperfections and quirks.
The gameplay and customization is so much fun and I really appreciate that the game mechanics have in world explanations and that they make sense from an in-world pov. Speaking of the world -- I love it! As expected of arkane, they really pay attention to detail when it comes to the environment and level design. Despite there only being 4 areas to explore there's still plenty of variety to them and I never found them lacking.
The only negative thing I can think of is that I wish it had perhaps been a bigger and longer game, but that's only because I want to explore this world and setting more. However, I think the concept of this story happening within a sort of bubble is very interesting and it definitely adds to the games intrigue and charm.
As a side note, I never encountered any bugs and I've played this game for almost 50 hours as of this review. I must've been lucky as I see a lot of reviews mentioning game breaking bugs. This is very unfortunate and I just thought I'd give a heads up for anyone who's thinking of buying the game.
