4/5 Disclaimer: I only played years after launch, so most updates/fixes were already implemented. Even so, the game quickly starts disappointing and failing to meet expectations, so much so I thought it would barely end up being a 3/5... but after installing a lot of mods to balance loot, increase difficulty, fix driving, etc - combined with the game's strong narrative and world, and captivating graphics and interesting characters, it all pushed it back to a strong 4/5

It's not a bad game, but very inconsistent in quality. At times I found the narrative and characters showing glimpses of excellence, then it would swing back to some of the worst writing I've heard. The graphics and art are beautiful, but the gameplay often feels clunky - it shines best when in the immersive tomb exploration. 2/5

3/5, while the gameplay is fun and it's a good shooter, I found the campaign to be a convoluted, rushed mess with a forgettable story. BT was really the only cool character.

5/5 A breathtaking original open-world masterpiece. At Ultra Hard difficult, it forces you to learn and use every tool and tactic available to win.

5/5, while I enjoyed the story of Saga 1 more, from a gameplay perspective Saga 2 is more of the same, with enough new content to keep things interesting.

4/5, beautiful game with fun mechanics and a strange narrative that oozes atmosphere but feels more interesting than it actually is.

4/5, it is (now) just as much fun as Ark but feels a lot more polished with greater lore and immersion.

5/5, an instant classic in my book - great story, fantastic challenging tactical gameplay (some annoying unprompted scripted deaths though)

4/5, great city builder with some pressure from raids - not sure about replay value, but first time though is fun

3/5 (good)

the best: beautiful expansive open world map with classic stealth-action gunplay

the worst: a lukewarm and forced narrative that interrupts your free play

of note: you can easily gain enough resistance points that certain missions end up being skipped
