What players say

95% of 15,668 reviews are positive · 97% of 71 in the last 30 days

Players most often praise the conspiracy story and the freedom to sneak, hack, fight, or talk through problems. The main complaint is compatibility with modern systems: some players report crashes, speed or display issues, dated controls, and needing community fixes.
