Underrated game. The combat is kind of stupid but the story is really good.

What's the next step in the scale after "so bad that it's good"? Whatever it is, it's not good.

TL;DR: Don't mind my play record. Buy it now.

I remember playing this game ad nauseam. I had the disc copy and must've spent at least 60-100 hours on it. I remember searching up the game a few years ago, broke my heart when I didn't see any digital copies (IDK how long it has been on Steam).

It may not have aged that well, though I cannot be the judge of that. For its time, this was one of the most underrated games out there and one that would definitely deserve a sequel (if I remember the ending correctly). It can be challenging at times (and frustrating), but once you've beaten a certain segment, the feeling of achievement you get is overwhelming.

The gameplay takes some getting used to and it also depends a lot on your class/character. Pistols, for example, get OP in the late game and TBH I've never played anything other than pistols.

I would recommend this game, if you like stealth/action RPGs. It can be very fun. If you decide to pick it up, BTW, have as much fun as you can on the first run and don't stress about your choices (I tend to do that). Then go for a second playthrough, which is usually more rewarding, if you played as a recruit and then go as a veteran.
