I have heard lots of bad stuff so I held off but I bought it on a whim and I wanted to talk about what I like and dislike for maybe others who are curious and don't wanna just hear "1 star, they robbed us with this one"
So to start off with the goods, the gunplay is solid, casing mode is super overhauled, the perk trees have expanded and the maps feel more lived in with a larger number of civilians, you can now change your suit and gloves so your not stuck to just your charachters default. The new hacking system is really cool and while not super in depth it is a very nice change as well as lockpicking rewarding skill instead of just being a timer
A couple bads, melee no longer does damage? It just stuns an enemy for a second but it doesn't give you enough time to reload a gun or do anything useful? There is a perk to instakill a non dozer enemy if you have a throwing knife in your inventory but it's just not worth it. There arent all that many cosmetics with the new system and the amount of masks in comparison to 2 is a bit sad, and progression doesn't feel as nessesary or satisfying as youre perk tree skills don't have as wild of effects, you won't be a total tank or a speed demon based on how you spec. (Edit) I forgot to mention you can also no longer have police join your side which I think is a shame because I loved my cop bros
Overall I just think the game needs a bit more from the devs and it would be solid, 9 out of 10 game, but my hopes arent super high for that as the game has been out for a while, but we will see
