For all the hype of this PS4 exclusive title it offers little new. The cover system including the stealth mechanics are far from the best out there. There are also few opportunities to choose what strategy to take. The game either makes you use stealth or shoot your way through. It's too linear. The story and characters never grabbed me minus the interesting opening. The voice acting is top but I can't say any of the music was memorable. The cut-scenes can also not be skipped. While they are not extremely long like an MGS game, and it may not be too bad on the first play, it definitely is a negative when it comes to replay value. The most annoying aspect of the game is the inability to run at times and the slow pace the character walks at. Some nice detailed graphics, interesting weapons and maybe there is something to build on here, but even the steampunk-ish like 19th century world doesn't seem as creative as it could be.
