Story: I’d actually be wasting your time on this planet if I attempted to try and repeat it. Graphics: Bloated, old unreal engine 3 with improved crisp shadows. Port: Pretty good except for the memory leaks & crashes.
No witty remarks, mostly just blurts out edgy comments or recounts information the player is already aware of. Garrett: Generic, modern protag who the world revolves around. Missions: They very quickly devolve into find whatever/go-to wherever to watch the next cutscene and witness the atrocious story.
Obvious ‘stealth’ route, alternate route/Deus Ex HR-style ventilation shaft route & then a more ambitious, often vertical route if you’re lucky. In each level there’s 2 routes minimum, didn’t find more than 3. Level design is mostly corridors & shafts. AI is probably some of the worst I’ve ever seen (Thief 1 & 2 actually have superior AI). Enjoy falling off a building after mantling when you intended to climb instead. Sound is largely irrelevant when compared with previous games, - Controls are limited after being designed for controllers, 2 sets of crucial actions (Movement/Interaction) are grouped and unchangeable. Lighting is binary, you're either visible or you're not. I'm incredibly disappointed in the dev team and square enix for attempting to dump money trying to buy a better 'score' & sales rather than spending the money making a better game. This decision was also made in-part due to a ridiculous amount of clearly fake reviews here, as well as shill posts on steam & various gaming boards around the net.

You could play a mission and ace it, then replay it step for step the same and get killed constantly.this makes it an exercise in frustration, impossiblevto master and basically a game of luck, which sucks for whats meant to be a cakculated stealth game.then theres the technical issues, sound out of sync with horrible animated cutscenes and constant lag with constant loadingscreens, a convoluted map with no waypoint, more frustation as you spend more time trying to find routes ti wwindowsills than anything else in this game.do yourself a favour and pass on this one, or il swap you my copy for anything s such a shame, it cuda been great. Honestly I really wanted to like this, I love all stealth games and love deus ex but what you read is true, it really isnt worth buying.what Honestly I really wanted to like this, I love all stealth games and love deus ex but what you read is true, it really isnt worth buying.what youve read is true, the story is beyond bad, seriously un absorbing.garett is a monotone bore.the gameplay was a slight novelty for the first hour while a new experience, but theres literally no change the whole way through.to make matters worse, the gameplay mechanics are not consistent, to the point of being almost broken.
