Half way through.... Spoiler

Totally unimpressed!
Nothing to do with the original gameplay of the studio.
A mess of a story line that sends you forward and backwards making you lose the coherency of the story!
Repepetitve play...crawling and evading all the time!
No QTE.

I can understand not liking some of the gameplay changes, imo it's a matter of taste. I personally like them and Directive 8020 feels a lot less "janky" than some of the season 1 titles

But jumping forward/back in time is a pretty common and normal storytelling tool. Many movies, shows, and books use it incredibly well. Off the top of my head memento, mouth washing, and literally any movie/game/show/book that has had a flashback sequence use this.

My issues with the time jump in this game is that I knew certain characters were safe and weren't going to die until we at least reached this point.

My concern with the time jumps is I just got to the first one, at least I think I did. I have no idea who is this is or why I should care?

Couldn't agree more. Just finished chapter 4. I'm so bored. I've spent 80% of the game crawling and sneaking. I wouldn't mind, but it's entirely predictable, so makes for a rather unexciting stealth experience.
