Game just keeps getting worse. Would advise steering clear.

Original Review "Still playing through it, but I'm already confident I love it. It's a fantastic "Classic" RPG with an early 90s feel without all of the trappings of those old, clunky engines. Great Dark Fantasy aesthetic with Lovecrafitan horror and mystery all wrapped up in a well written and tactical RPG."

I have since completed the game and have some additional thoughts. The game was great but the quality definitely dropped in the final act and the game became much more linear and straight forward. Quests and mechanics that were hinted at earlier simply never amounted to anything and it quickly rushes its ending. It is very evident unfortunately that a lot of content was cut or the dev didn't have the time and resources to finish, leaving the end of your journey feeling hollow.

Great game let down by its final act, I hope to see a "Definitive Edition" re-release in the future to fully bring out the potential of this great game before a sequel.

If you're only a solo player, don't bother. Especially if you want to play a PvP server. Otherwise the game is solid, but still a bit too heavy on the grind.

Chill little puzzle game with beautiful art and an interesting world, varied zones with different themes and mechanics to keep it fresh and a well designed difficulty curve to keep you challenged as you progress. All around a solid package well worth it's price.

Solo player here. Honestly I like the game a lot but self revive absolutely ruins it. When I'm solo I can't afford to sit on bodies endlessly to ensure they don't revive and I just can't keep burning bodies as I don't have enough fire bombs etc. It is absolutely cheap and ruins the entire point of the game. If I kill you, you should be dead. It isn't like in other games like Warzone where you can clearly tell someone is down and has self revive. In this you have no way of knowing until their corpse springs to life and shoots you in the back.

I think the self revive was intended to be a way to give solo players more of a chance, but I'd argue it has had the opposite effect and punishes us more. I don't mind when I die. I take the L and move onto the next match, but when I've just won a fight and they spring up and gun me down as I walk away it is infuriating.

The Necromancer perk needs a complete rework and the solo self res needs removed. It has no place in a game like this.

Great stealth/Action game with an interesting story and great gameplay. You can play as a complete ghost or John Wick if you choose. The Spies Vs Mercs multiplayer mode is also well worth your time as it is very fun and unique.

The servers were down for a while but have now been fixed thankfully, so I would highly recommend this game. Still sucks Ubisoft forces their DRM launcher on people though.

There's just something really off about this game. Putting aside the lack of content at launch and the atrocious battle pass system, the gunplay is wildly unbalanced. Some weapons seem completely useless, while others while others are very overpowered. The base Assault Rifle is a better choice than 60% of the total amount of weapons available (which is a very small pool to begin with). This is ALMOST a great game, but there's a lot of Balance issues, UI issues and Progression issues that need addressing. Oh, and you also cannot pick which mode you wish to play, in a First Person Shooter in 2021. There is only a quick play playlist, or Ranked playlist with all the modes lumped together in rotation. It is unacceptable.

ALSO Peformance is Abysmal and I have frequent crashing issues despite having a very powerful Rig. This is not a Beta either. They claim it is yet it has a fully operational cash shop with ridiculously high pricing and a paid progression system. The state the game is in has no excuse.

I wish there was a choice between recommended and not recommended, but alas I must choose one. Difficulty definitely leans more towards being "Cheap" than other similar games, It is purely a test of patience more than skill. I would recommend if you're sure you'll be fine dying repeatedly trying to figure out how to get around some insanely aggressive enemies and annoying mechanics. There's definitely a lot to love about this, the story, setting and artistic design are fantastic, it just boils down to how much frustration are you willing to put up with to appreciate it.

Great Gangster movie and an excellent story with likeable characters, great atmosphere and twists that will hit you in the feels.

The game is not too long but I loved every minute of it. Would definitely recommend to anyone interested in the subject matter or setting.
