"Rise and Fall" = crash crash crash

yeah, it is pretty good

I have given it a thumbs up despite some serious shortcomings.

The biggest issue I had with the game was how badly its interface works on PC using a mouse and keyboard. Clicking on buttons in menus would simply not register in many cases. Trying to hack a console when you are unable to zoom out and "move the map" so you can hack nodes off-screen was a real frustration. Adjusting my resolution down to 1080 and turning on Vsync helped a little with this but it was still flawed.

In terms of enemy A.I. it isnt great, don't expect human revolution of mankind divided sort of intelligence or character development. But it is OK for what it is.

The story wasn't bad but it really was only the opener to a far bigger thing Deus Ex-style.

Either positive or negative; the game leaves you wanting more, the end of the game is abrupt, but it did leave me with the feeling that I wanted to know how it would finish, that in itself has to be a positive at least in my mind.

It is clear that we were going to be told more about some familiar faces that appear in DE:HR, and I was really up for learning more about them.

I would say if you like to get as much story in from the DE universe, buy this game, it is short so do it when it is on sale do not go for it at full price than you might feel cheated.

One of my all time favorites received a refresh through this fantastic mod. Thank you to the developer putting so much time and effort into creating it. Adding the achievements is a nice addition, which certainly adds some replayability. Enjoyed playing through it all again after all these years.
