I had a hard time deciding which to vote.
If you're a fan of Fear Effect, this will probably be enjoyable enough for you to go back into this world.
Loving myself some dystopian worlds, I still pushed thru even though I found myself wanting to quit several times due to frustration.
Be warned, your patience WILL be tested.
I do not mind a fail & retry mechanic as core gameplay, but having to skip manually several times at every failure is very frustrating & shouldn't be a thing from a 2018 game, especially on somewhat tough boss fights (who are damage sponges) and not-so-obvious puzzles that will make you scratch your head at what the hell you're supposed to do (or maybe I am that dumb).
Also, the total absence of chapter selection for a game of this kind is a huge question mark for me.
Being a completionist, this makes achievements quite annoying to farm,
as you'll have to restart from the very beginning in order to get those that you couldn't get.
Highlight for me was the soundtrack, though.
Very atmospheric and generally fitting to the setting.
The environments and style are also very reminiscent of Ghost in the Shell.
(a panoramic view of the Hong Kong's skyline, only disturbed by a flying helicopter passing thru immediately caught my GITS fan's eye)
Overall, it's still worth playing it for the story, especially if Fear Effect is a franchise dear to you,
or if you don't mind getting frustrated here and there.
