Pros:
Great story with fun characters and can be very immersive
Gameplay is fun and varied, with lots of extra content

Cons:
Getting hit doesn't feel impactful, and can go unnoticed, causing frustrating deaths
Still contains some glitches
Save system is god awful and ruins longevity of the game
No way to skip non-cinematic scenes, even if the only interactivity is camera movement.

It's worth a playthrough of the story, but that doesn't make it worth buying. Better to rent/borrow rather than buy. There is no New Game Plus, so creating a new save of any kind erases all of your old progress. If you're a completionist then be prepared to watch the extremely long and unskippable opening scenes to get all the difficulty achievements. Especially if you want to try your hand at "Mein Leben!" difficulty.

I hate it too, because I really like this game but the absolutely abyssmal save and unskippable scenes are unforgiveable. TBH, don't even play it. Just watch a let's play instead. Save your money.
