Playing this 6 year after release in definitive edition. Game still holds rather well. Partly because of graphic and art style that ages well but also many other qualities such as good writing, story and characters. Game has multiple endings which is always appreciated. I managed to experience the "best" one as I managed to kill very few people throughout. I also got to see a different ending due to my GF killing at-will. :)
Game plays as either action or stealth game depending on your preferences. It's plot is set in entirely new setting of steampunk spin-off, mixed with magical and religious elements. Game mechanics are decent but sometimes get exposed which can be cause of some frustration. Also, in the day and age of open world games having to load mid-mission feels strange but once again this is due to game's age.
Grade would be somewhere between 7 and 8 but I opted for 8/10 as there very few story driven games that promote stealth gameplay (others being Deus Ex and somewhat Hitman). I still feel this is worth playing if you are interested in that type of games. Now onto the second game.
