The verdict
A brilliant social-stealth sandbox with huge replayability, but sold through a confusing storefront with DLC gating, always-online progression and crashes on some PCs. Skip it if you hate DLC-heavy models.
Great for
Patient players who love experimenting in big stealth sandboxes and replaying levels in creative ways
Main risk
Buying the cheap Part One edition and finding most content locked behind extra purchases
