One of the most innovative games I've played in a while. I loved the Dishonored and Prey games - this takes all the best elements of those and delivers another high-art and fun game. The dialogue is great, the world-building is fascinating, I'm a big fan of this game. The only downfall is that the story doesn't grab you as immediately as Dishonored and Prey does - you spend the first hour or so kind of unmotivated because the stakes, characters and world are hardly defined. BUT that is part of the story- not really knowing what was going on... but as things start to click it becomes more and more fun.

Something that is thrilling about the game is the combat- and you don't feel punished for a certain playstyle like you did in Dishonored. Because of the loop system, there is so much freedom to play around with different guns, abilities, etc. Whereas in Dishonored there were entire weapons and abilities I never used because there were negative consequences to doing so.

I still have plenty to do in the game, but I can tell this is going on my favorite list.
