Okay folks, I've finished watching this game though yesterday evening and I can only agree with Dean. It's the best game that I've seen (from YouTube anyway!) for the PS4 so far. I thought the storyline was respectable. The walkthrough I watched of it was on ‘Hero' / 'good karma' for your reference. It does trail off a little about three quarters of the way through in opinion but there’s plenty worse out there and the actual ending itself did almost leave a lump in my throat.
In terms of gameplay, again I can only be vague having only been a spectator. It seems there's lots to do between the story, lots of things to find and a selection of side missions. Getting that DUP control percentage in each area down could become mildly addictable!
The downsides? Well the angel/demon boss (with the lava floor) was very tedious to watch. My YouTube 'Walkthrougher' even commented on this. The final boss was also just as long-winded and found myself beginning to loose concentration. That's not something I do regularly… I know boss battles are supposed to be difficult. I'd rather them be a challenge rather than being no different to a regular enemy, but I must admit the boss battles in the latter half of the game do become repetitive and borderline on being tedious.
Obviously without owning a PS4 as of yet I haven't a clue how the game actually feels to play or what the controls are like – so I can't comment at all on that front. I'll leave that up to others to judge. I can't comment how it compares to other games in the series because I was completely unaware of it until a few weeks ago. Generally speaking I find games of this nature a bit too 'oddball' for me, but I did enjoy this particular one. I found it much better than the highly-rated Thief, anyway…
For me, it rates as a solid 8/10 all day long. I did enjoy it overall from a spectator's perspective and maybe there will be a day I'll get the chance to play it for myself.
