Feels like a mobile game, very little actual meaningful player expression or variation.

An overall upgrade on the first game in just about every way. Splitting off the more focused and complicated maps into their own separate heists was a great idea, and the drone and planning mode negate a lot of tedium. Letting you eventually be more proactice with sleeping gas and tranquilizer darts still has enough drawbacks (cost, time limit) to not negate the core gameplay. The only complaint I have is that much like the first game the in-game economy isn't great; if you play around you can easily max out your skills and equipment before you even start the second neighborhood, leaving you nothing but cosmetic decorations for your house to spend your hard-earned money on.

If you have fond memories of Stubbs the Zombie, let them stay fond memories.

Dev is pro-trans, pro-illegal immigration and hates white people.

Has a section where a hanged man quotes negative reviews of the game and everything he says is 100% correct.

The first two neighborhoods are great! Scoping out suburban homes for the perfect time to sneak in, tracking down unique and valuable loot, doing Keystone Kops chases and hiding in closets to avoid getting tazed; this is a janky game with plenty of rough spots, but there's also a lot to enjoy if you vibe with it. The final act of the game and the DLC lose the plot a bit, you move on to industrial areas and palatial estates that feel more like typical stealth game levels than the things that made the rest of the game special. But if you power (or cheat) your way through them, the New Game+ mode lets you play through the good neighborhoods all over again!

Hello Games lied about their game on national television, made millions off of the lies, and then used some of that money to later go back and deliver some of the things they lied about. And gamers just wants to gush about how far the game has come since release rather than admit they got scammed.

The performance is awful but if you can get it running it's worth it. It's like an artifact from a world where the defining Xbox 360 FPS was The Darkness instead of Call of Duty, doing little side missions in a Detroit hub between missions and tearing through armies of mooks with simple satisfying combat. I will fully admit that Robocop is one of my favorite movies and the game does a good job matching the energy and tone of the films, ultimately being a better conclusion to the story than the actual Robocop 3.

As a fan of factory games and Stardew Valley I was really excited by the premise of this game. Unfortunately, this falls short in both aspects. Replacing the farming and mining with setting up conveyor belts and smelters would be more fun if it actually had a Stardew-level of content and polish surrounding it or the factory building was more interesting.

They took all the stuff that made Dead Island suck and put it in Dying Light.
