So I can't decide whether to reccomend this or not so here's some pros and cons. (I have fully completed the game's story, but skipped most side quests becuase of cons) Cons marked with * are personal grips so you dont have to agree with them.

TLDR: Play for the amazing world and story, but be prepared for annoying and tedious gameplay. Also, murder doesn't matter.

Pros:
- The story, from the start its great and throughout character 1 just stays amazing and builds up the world from the eyes of the common folk. Character 2 continues to keep it up with following this world's elites and their inter-workings.
- The atmosphere and art style are amazing and unique, really gets you into the story and wanting to know more about the world.
- Sides quests are interesting (a few border tedious) and continue to expand this unique world.
- Everything has a very twisted humor to it, such as ridiculous weapons and characters making sarcastic (and borderline 4th wall breaking) comments on events.
- All 3 characters are unique in personality and interaction, down to every voice line. (ex: when fast traveling character 1 will remorse over the past and trains, character 2 references 1930s movies and sings nursery rhymes, and character 3 sings WW2 marching songs)
- Each character has a diferent play style, each having two of three skill trees (stealth, survival, combat) as well as a character specific tree.

Cons:
- Gameplay. Gets. Tedious. By the time I got to Arthur's (1st character) final mission I had planned to then step back and do side missions. But the combat, survival and stealth were so annoying (I was being stealth knockout focused for this char) I just said f*** it and started the finale.
- Then when I got to character 2 (who requires a crafted chemical to knock people out), I had such a hard time getting the resources required to be stealth that I made the STEALTH character into a COMBAT character. What's worse is it worked, besides being a three-shot to every enemy.
- *Character 3 is interesting and had I not spoiled myself on his ending (I didnt know he was a playable character so I googled him) I probably would have enjoyed the final reveal.
- But what the main problem with character 3 is that I discovered MURDER DOESNT F***ING MATTER. I ended up killing every person I saw (becuase Ollie doesnt have a outfit that blends in in the Village, so he's immediately attacked by every wanker on the street) and had no backlash becuase of it. Which made me really ticked becuase I was hoping for something down the lines of Dishonored where pacifist runs netted you a more happy ending, but no, same ending either way.
- Character 2 & 3 both have a character specific mechanic that tries to freshen up the gameplay, this does not accomplish this, and in fact, it convinced me to speed run character 2's part becuase having to return to their house every. day. was agony. Char 3's was admittedly a lot better as the game actually spawned more of the ingredients you need to satisfy the mechanic.
- *The final ending fell a bit flat, probably due to a mix of me wanting to just end the game, the hours of painful gameplay I've put in, and that I already spoiled Ollie's (3's) big reveal. Arthur's epilouge, if you decide to remember (Im not playing the last mission again to see what happens if you forget) does have some nice further closure to his character.
