What goes wrong

Gameplay and design49%
Nearly 40 hours put into the game and I can't get through the first Act, not because of difficulty, but because I just don't like the characters or the story enough to care about any of it.

Sadly in this case I was looking forward to this game and when playing, it looks great but the camera point of view is just plain rubbish.

This game is so satisfying to play. Multiple ways to beat most objectives, you are not constrained in anyway. You play it your way.

Ending and cut content5%
You are best ending the game at the end of Act 2 Big Negatives The game actively lies and fights you depending your actions Pathfinding is difficult at times and deceptive at worst Some characters...

Between constant bugs or rules on not being able to target literal human characters to dying for reason that to this day I I still don't understand is infuriating.
