(6.5/10) Buy on sale
Gameplay is great and fun, but the story is mediocre. You basically play as super soldier Clavicular and have to destroy Horizon which is led by transhumanist Peter Theil in order to save the universe from techno-feudalism I guess idk tbh. The story is predictable and I have no idea why it is front and center sometimes when the combat is so much better. Characters are stereotypes and genuinely offer nothing to plot other then someone to shoot

The highlight is the combat which is much like F.E.A.R. in a way but does its own thing though. But while I say combat is great, why do attachments from enemy guns not count as collecting them? I literally can take them off but not put them back on. And why is the sword locked away? It was the funniest weapon but took a random crate to get it before I finished the game. Weird story and game decisions make this game have rough edges but it is fine if bought on sale just for some fun for 9ish hours, still kinda short tho.

(I realize post review I mentioned some DLC items that I'm surprised you have to buy, more proof this game lacks clear direction tbh)

Great game, completed the story in under 5 hours and it was very enjoyable with only some small issues or things you expect from a game from 2009. There is some jank like clipping or not grabbing ledges properly which might make you die multiple times or waste time looking around but it was never big issue. I ran into an issue where I crashed constantly in the storm drain I just had to turn off anti-aliasing. The story itself is very telling of its age but I thought it was fine and enjoyable mostly nostalgic. The animated cutscenes were beautiful imo. Overall holds upwell after over a decade and longer with an amazing artstyle. Would play again later.

Even after almost 10 years and 1000+ hours on Xbox still can't play on my main account on PC becasue of Ubisoft's silly and outdated 3rd party launcher for the game I paid for and Ubisoft support never helps me or even do their jobs. May Ubisoft collapse tommorow Inshallah.

Experienced more bugs on the "Enhanced Edition" then the original in my playthrough but nothing game breaking just funny bugs you have to deal with in these games. The updated graphics are nice but for a game this old the lighting still carries more then AI upscaled slop. Underwhelming overall for an "Enhanced Edition", but it is worth it if you enjoy the STALKER series in my opinion.

Great game highly underrated deserves more publicity desperately. The story deserves the most praise with me being hooked playing even though this is different from what I normally play. only issue is combat gets repetitive and easy by the end of the game and could be better but in the end it didn't stop me from %100 completing it.

Definitely a story...

10/10 game really makes you feel incompetent like the secret service, it's authentic.

You can defeat Volgin by chain smoking, thank you Kojima...

I'm doing my part!

Got this with Crusader Kings III Royal Edition, I regret Still having faith in paradox after Leviathan
