I give it 6.8/10.
Gameplay rather meh, even if they came up with some cool stuff.
I don't like waiting for guards patroling, which is why I quit Dishonored early and this happens here as well, but more in the beginning, later you have more tools to avoid that.
Sometimes you get locked from using "Sprint" which is annoying and unnecessary, maybe to get the already rather short time to beat the game higher. In certain atmospheric moments okay, but not when you can still explore a lot of the surroundings. You can't save the game, always have to start from checkpoints, which can get frustrating, because you have to repeat some dialogue or in some cases a (quick time) event. Not having an option to save / quicksave sometimes also leads to deciding for a path which can lock you out of the prior area. But I think most of the checkpoints they chose are alright.
Characters, voice acting, sounds and atmosphere are good. AI pretty stupid. Rat movement looks weird sometimes. Story is decent. This game really is a weird mix of "I want to continue because of the characters, atmosphere and story, but at the same time gameplay is not super satisfying." In the end I still have to give it a thumbs up, because it's likeable. I already installed the sequel and will play it. I guess the game has a nice change of pace compared to other games.
