So, it seem that this game is in a bit of a either you love it or hate it situation. Personally, i love it so far. Ive mostly done exploration so far and have played for 10 hours as of me writing this review. I really like the world. And talking to people and finding small mysteries by breaking in to peoples apartments and reading about them.

The even that just kind of sold me was this (also, kind of spoilers, i guess?)

I was just walking around, decided to walk into a shop (a security tec shop, though they didnt sell anything special), talked a little to the guy owning it. Turns out he needed some meds, so i decide to give him some. He tells me that i'm free to look around the back of his store. I take some liberties and break into his vault. Find some generic resources. But also a card for a bank vault of the Tarvos corporation, some private military company. So i tip my hat, and walk out. I go to the bank, which i had already been in, and they had some heavy security, cameras, guards, locked doors which needed key cards. So i look around the outside if i could find some vents. I walk into a cafe sharing walls with the bank, and what do you know, i find a vent leading into the banks garage. In there i find three guards and two cameras, i take out the guards and cameras with out a peep.

I find a fan in there which leads into a room next to it. So i throw a emp grenade which stops it, and walk through. I hack my way through a couple of doors. And i find myself in a huge room, similar looking to a elevator shaft.

I climb down, it seems its filled with different corporate vaults. Eventually i find the Tarvos vault, i enable its manual opening. And get into the vault. I find lots of stuff, do some reading on a computer in there, turns out its the belltower corporation which has rebranded itself as Tarvos.

All that was done without any quest markers or anything. Just me doing stuff.
