Sorry I should I have said these in the first place.

Poor performance and bugs.

Annoying gameplay elements like constant perspective switching, still no normal melee options, cinematic takedowns and the fact that they still require Adam to have a charge in his battery, world props being inconsistent in terms of physics and interaction, a boring / bland story, and a general lack of freshness. Adam Jensen is still an annoying brooding dickhead.
Not to mention the insane DLC stuff.

It feels like Human Revolution with a thin new layer of paint. The gameplay is still otherwise good but it feels like an expansion to that game instead of a 60 dollar new one.

"Aug Lives Matter" is the current lowpoint in gaming. You should be ashamed of yourselves.

I've seen like three or four conversation battles so far and I think im like close to halfway through the game.

There's several places where you enter the Convo thing where they walk around and react but ultimately it ends the same regardless of how it goes. The mob guy is an example

One gets the impression that woke millennial types crying about privilege prefer a society divided by material wealth as long as it doesn't involve anything too cringey that we might have to Have a Conversation about. It's hard to pull a coherent message out of what little story there is in Mankind Divided but to the extent that there is some kind of moral or message it is surely that Half-Life-ian communism is the enemy of liberal multiculturalism. If you kind of squint there's actually some of the old Gen-X cynicism of Deus Ex running through the Eastern Bloc setting--it's all "help help I'm being regulated to death" and other sort of hacky done-to-death critiques of bureaucracy. There's not really any shortage of food or hideous European high fashion in the augmented stronghold. The principle complaint is that people aren't very nice to them (oh and that "radicals" are making it hard for Aug MLK to do his job which is standard fare in obnoxious videogame finger-wagging--see: Bioshock Infinite). They basically succeeded in creating a story about resisting power without ever having to say or think anything genuinely subversive.

I've got like 20 hours into this game so far. It's enjoyable but nothing special. It does feel like a standalone expansion to DXHR. The goofy cut scenes that play ecerytime you fall down a hole or takedown someone are pretty dumb and the perspective switch for stealth is extremely dumb. I'm playing the game straight stealth, no kills and it seems like you end up missing large swathes of the game this way. Also people get angry at you now if you stun gun people rather than just avoid everyone which causes you to miss even more of the game.

The game is real short. Should have paid $20 but the city hub is the best looking video game level since Sapienza in Hitman, for whatever that's worth.
