Disappointed that I spent £50 on it and took two days off at work thinking it will be difficult to stop playing. Wasn't difficult at all, just press Quit and don't think about the game for another year.
It's an ordinary singleplayer FPS, not the evolution of the iconic series that was so anticipated. I can hardly name any gameplay improvement that the sequel shows over the previous instalments that, mind you, were released over a decade ago.

Meh. Awkward movement and weapon responsiveness, unconvincing map design. Doesn't do well in comparison to many other WW1/2 Online FPS of the last few years.

Poorly made. Delicate Roman warriors can't climb a ladder.

Way over the top with the spy theme, this game knows more ways to piss you off than the entire Souls series combined.
Bought it for about $5, but came to regret paying even that little.

The 'hidden truths' I was made to expect to discover were very few and far between, if any. An ambitious attempt, but a mediocre result.
My secret word was Order, which is so secret that nearly anyone in my life would characterise me with it.

Meh. Shallow gameplay, doesn't maintain interest well.

What to expect:
- very shallow combat (damage vs defence and health is pretty much the entire depth of it)
- poor UX (from inconsistent input scheme to lots of unnecessary running)
- laughable RPG aspect (a handful of skills, neither of which you choose, with scarcely explained effects and questionable value)

My advice:
take it for no less than $10. Yes - no less - meaning that if somebody pays you at least that much to play it, well, do what you gotta do.

Sex scenes are what you are rewarded with for victories, and punished for defeats.
The moral of the story: doesn't matter if you win or lose in life, you get an oversized d*ck up your *ss in the end.

I'm wondering, just how low your Tech and QA teams' qualification must be, to allow for so many game breaking bugs in a game that is no more complex code-wise than some cheap visual novel? Was it coded by drunk undergrads for a bowl of instant noodles?

Noticeably buggy - first time I see the game on Steam that systematically misses triggering achievements. A couple of bugs did affect my progress, effectively forcing me to reload or accept losing score.
UI seemed to me both poorly designed and implemented. Many interactive elements are not highlighted in any way, it's often not obvious how to close an overlay screen or a access a button that is overlapped by another UI element.
Gameplay-wise, didn't strike me as anything more than a repetitive memory/attention exercise. May grow deeper somehow when you progress, but I suspect all complexity you can expect here comes down to having more sorts of the same attention exercise (spot the right word within several lists and texts).
