Whats here is really good, and what i played i really enjoyed. the art style is adorable and gameplay is fluid and satifying. unfortunately the guy with the vision of how the game was supposed to pan out, has left for some reason. very annoying but the game as it stands is acceptable.

Proably would have been decent, however GFWL is required to save progress and settings, since GFWL no longer exists, all your singleplayer progress is wiped upon closing the game. a waste, probably could have been good if not for microsoft's meddling

more annoying than fun, mounted stealth is sloppy and frustrating, the enemies are not interesting at all, exactly the same as the base game but weaker

tl;dr at the bottom

great game, though the controls are a mess, why cant i toggle stealth? why is L-ctrl the action button? why can talion either walk slowly or full sprint without anything in between? also dodging is barely functional and parrying caragors is a joke, meaning even once you "unlock" the ability you still cant do it, why? who knows!

aside from the messy controls the game is actually really well done, stealth is absolute bliss and combat is a joy. not to mention seamlessly transitioning from stealth to combat and back to stealth again to mess with your enemies. the only thing that hurts the combat is the movement, its clunky and slow and often times talion will do something completely opposite of what was commanded of him. i think i was killed more by the movement style than any enemy.

tl;dr: great game minorly hindered by controls and sloppy dodging but overall a fantastic game well worth the price for any tolkien fan or fans of assassins creed or batman

You play as the douchiest guy in the world, he looks douchey, acts douchey, says douchey things, even the other characters make multiple references to his douchiness. you run around killing ugly people. its basically high school from the lacrosse captain's point of view

pretty dated, still fun pretty spooky. but why the ♥♥♥♥ does my health drop so ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ quick "oop your were exposed for 1.5 seconds, you dead homie" otherwise its o, pick up the collection

fun, looks good, but ♥♥♥♥ why are these zeroes so strong

yay for rubbery ragdolls!

its a mobile port. dont expect anything more. gameplay functions similarly to human revolution except designed for mobile devices so the shooting is clunky and the hacking barely works. that being said i do actually enjoy it, the stealth is pretty well done despite the brainless ai. and the story and locales are entertaining enough.

if you're super into deus ex its worth it to get

Tranq darts are the best weapon
