I played it when it first came out and returned it. With update 2.0 and the game on sale, I gave it another go.
I’m really enjoying the combat. I’ve built a character around Reflex and Cool, so my silenced pistol one shots standard enemies, and my throwing knives can one shot beefier guys so long as they’re not aware of me. I specced into Reflex for the dodge/air dodge mechanic.
Maybe on harder difficulties, the enemies become bullet sponges, but most targets die before I need to reload.
