Its a good game, but I have some complaints. I kind of miss being a silent protagonist, I wish they would have given that option during character creation. Also, I REALLY don't like the whole base building, growing crops, fixing up houses, and town making aspect of the game. I am sure some people like that, and that's fine, but sometimes it feels like it forces you. You can ignore this aspect of the game, but if your brain is wired like a completionist, as mine is, ignoring quests and pleas for help feels dirty.

I do really love how you can mod weapons and the power armor, that is a welcome addition.

Overall, if you like robots, post apocalyptic settings, and RPG elements, you will enjoy this game.

A classic, the game that got me into the Fallout series. I would like it more than 4 if it had its graphics updated, but I feel it still holds up.

I heard that it doesn't run on windows 10, so keep that in mind.

I enjoyed the platforming and the puzzles. Its really all I bought it for, but the story won me over. It was deeper and a bit darker than I initially thought. The story seems confusing at first, but as you progress you unravel it, as well as the state of the world. Also, the music is tight.

Give it a chance, its not too long of a game.

A great addition to the franchise, although I feel like the story for Human Revolution was a bit better, Mankind Divided improves on a lot of other different things. Graphics are better than the last game. Also, combat is a bit more complex with the different kinds of ammo types, and more augments giving you more options on how to approach a situation.

Due to the events of the last game, the social divide in the world has grown bigger, and I like how it is emphasized in this game. Augs are treated like second class citizens, and the setting of the game is more tense.

I enjoyed the side missions of this game, and I recommend you go through all of them, as well as purchase the DLC that includes other side missions for more content.

The only thing I didn't like about the game was all the secrecy. Lots of characters with hidden agendas, double agents, mysteries you will never get the answers to, shadowy organizations whose motivations are unclear. I feel like the last game was a bit more straightforward, I don't enjoy beating a game knowing that the final boss was just some sort of pawn, and the main baddies are still out there

Despite all that, I still very much enjoyed this game, a must buy for any cyberpunk enthusiast.

9/10

A great cyberpunk game, whose themes mirror our own real world. What makes a human? At what point does the pursuit of technological advancement become unethical or dangerous? Why do people fear change, and how far would they go to prevent it?

What makes this game so great is not only the story or the protagonist you play as (who is a badass), but the setting of the game. A lot of the themes deal in science fiction, but the social divide that is presented in the game is an entirely possible one in our real world. Several times while playing the game I though to myself, "Huh, we don't have this technology in the real world, but this is TOTALLY how people would react to it."

Gameplay-wise, this game is a treat. You have the option to play this game stealthy, guns blazin', or a mixture of both, which affects how people talk to you, as well as the ending of the game. This game has a lot of replayability. The only reason I didn't replay the game myself is because I jumped on the next one immediately because I wanted to follow the story and the character.

Despite the graphics being a bit dated (playing this in 2019), it still totally holds up.
