The verdict
A short, gorgeous nanosuit shooter that still looks stunning, but the campaign is linear and easy. Skip it if a forced, often broken EA launcher would bother you.
Great for
Fans of single-player sci-fi shooters who want stealth, a bow, a nanosuit and top-tier visuals in a short campaign
Main risk
The mandatory EA app and admin-rights launcher may refuse to start the game at all
