I play it on hard and it is not a bad game, but there is no option of a neutral review so i had to make it negative because of the things i will mention down below.

First, some positive things.
--Cyberpunk world looks nice .
--Main hero is appealing badass.
--Story seems interesting.

Now bad things.
--Story, even though it looks interesting it is partly given through messages between heroes in some kind of small chat with small letters in the upper right corner of the screen. I rarely noticed that they have some dialog going in. A really bad way to make it. I think it should be in the lower or upper side of the screen so that player would instantly notice it. Also in this kind of games there is no time to read anything because you concentrate on killing stuff, so it should be voiced (though maybe they have those dialogs when there are no enemies around, i can't tell. As i said, i rarely noticed that there is a dialog).

--Reload. You shoot your rifle unloading every bullet in your clip and then... nothing happens. You need to press shoot again or R for reload. This makes rifle a bad choice of a weapon in such an action game, because you hold mouse button to shoot, not click it like in case of revolver or shotgun.

--Dodge and dash. Both are useless, you are not invulnerable during them. If you want to die faster then use dodge. As for dash, i thought it could be of some use to get behind shielded brute, but no, they turn a way too fast.

--Crouch. Why is it in the game, i do not know. Enemies can shoot you fine when you are crouching behind something - it is a fast way to die. When you, on the opposite, unable to hit enemies behind cover.

--Aim. Camera is moving along with your crosshair. It is hard to get used to it and it makes shooting worse.

--Hacking. It is useful only when you have nothing but revolver. And it is the only way to deal with shielded brutes, to stun them and shoot them in the back. In other cases it is of no use because it is a dozen times faster to just shoot the guy.

--Shielded brutes. The only way to deal with them i found so far is to hack them. You can't get around them or destroy their shield, i tryed. Shield seems indestructable (i unloaded a hell lot of bullets in it).

--Upgrades. I have yet to see through them, but now i can tell that you can buy upgrade level 3 right away, passing level 1 and 2. A strange way to do them, but it is fine i guess. They are expensive though.

--Shooting. There is no hipfire, character does aim+shooting when you click to shoot. Also when you are close to the enemy, your character is using knife instead of shooting.

--Time slower thing. I found no use to it, it just makes everything a lot slower for a couple of seconds.

Overall the game has a nice cyberpunk setting but the game itself is too simple. Enemies have a good aim and there is no way to evade their bullets. So it is you kill them fast while eating out medkits, or you just die. The most frustrating was the level where you need to stay in the PC zone and defend yourself against endless enemies. Because of the things i mentioned above you are in the open in there. I failed dozens of times before i noticed that there is a bit of zone near a chest which is behind the PC. Only by holding out in that place i was finally able to pass it. A little further there was a room where enemies could literally spawn on you out of nowhere. I was instantly pulverized by a shotgunner this way.
I will beat this game till the end, but like some people said in other reviews - The Ascent is a better choice of a game.
