Great game, interesting story, addicting mechanics. By far one of the better fps to come out in the past decade. few games anymore make me think of playing them outside of playing, this game got me hooked, only downside is its a little short coming in at around 10hrs. Seems like there is a bunch of replay-ability and unlocks though.

Its pretty and the anomalies are really neat.
Atmosphere 10\10
Sound 8/10

But the combat, progression, ai, damage scaling, lots quests are broken, memory leaks, and plus plenty of other issues. would wait for modders to fix the game (kinda what they had to do with the last ones), in its current state i cant recommend. Even more so after 5 or 6 broken game sequences its like no one ever play tested and this is in the main story. Also the complete lack of the A-life and rep system that was in the last games is an unforgivable disappointment, this is what made the last games great now they are just a fallout clone. Seems like most the great systems and mechanics they already had in this series were scraped and now we are just left with a huge pretty looking map. basically a ubisoft game.

Combat 4/10 (every weapon feels like a holding fishing rod and i really dislike the removal of the binos)
progression 2/10(really good stuff just seems to be handed to you for no effort, plus the economy is completely broken)
Banlance 1/10 (really easy to cheese and the mutants heath plus insta headshot ai is trash)
AI 1/10 (Complete) trash having stuff sqawn directly ontop of me inst engaging gameplay. After the 3 chmira that spawned i really doute Alife was how they show prerelease.

Good Game

One of the best games ive ever played.
