It takes a lot to get me actually invested in a game, but this game does it so easily. The story, the gameplay, and the atmosphere is the strongest I've experienced in a game for a very long time.

The best way to describe the game's atmosphere is a mix between Blade Runner and the Matrix. You're Adam, a badass agent who is being used as a pawn in a bigger game, and as you progress through this perfectly story-driven game you find out just how deep it goes. The story is the game's strongest element, which doesn't mean much because all parts are that good. The characters all have depth and are nowhere near forgettable. You'll find yourself playing to find out what happens next, which is the mark of a well written story.

The game rewards stealth but doesn't punish you for using your guns. As you've read by now every situation can be approached with different goals. To give you an example, at one point in the game I was trying to get into a restricted area. I tried sweet-talking the guard but I messed that up, so instead I hacked into some computers to find the passcode for a door leading into the area. That worked, but as I was inside I found a vent that I could have climbed through if I had explored the roof of the building. Cool stuff.
