It's a really fun game overall.Combat is minimal, despite the trailer showing action sequences.Story is pretty heavy as police investigations go, however it is quite fun and interesting.As many players pointed out, some characters just end up having too much dialogue about the world, socioeconomic issues, while the game does not have enough storytelling canvas to properly back up and explore these problems. Smaller NPCs often have huge discussions or agendas that hardly add to the story besides coloring the background. Having replayed some of the scenes, it turns out that dialogue tree branches out vastly in conversations just to end up with same outcomes, despite seemingly different responses from your character. Detective and his way of solving problems can change with your decisions, however general outcome of many encounters will not vary much besides the classical passed/failed. The skills system and its rolls for failure/pass somewhat encourage quicksaving and loading just for the sake of exploring all options - it seems to undermine the general character development. If there are no hard checks, just percentages based on your level of that skill, why not reload it 5 times, right!Worth picking up.
