Reviews are solid so far... Eurogamer gave it 9/10, Edge Magazine gave it 8/10 (which is like a 10/10 from any other publication :lol.

I don't think we can trust reviews of this game. Professional reviewers absolutely lose any sense of reason when they think they are looking what constitutes their narrow definition of 'art'

[quote name='Vortextk']Yeah like being vulnerable when you reload. Seemingly, you're supposed to steal weapons as often as possible.[/QUOTE]

Yeah, but you get cover when you reload usually. There's nowhere to hide in this game, and it seems really stupid to steal the same type of weapon if you're already holding it. It'd make more sense for the weapon to disintegrate if that's the intent, since you'd only be holding it for a few strikes anyway.

And if you want to clean your weapon, run away and do it?

Also, why is it stupid to take your same weapon? It makes their AI worse and you get a clean weapon without being vulnerable. You can still weaken enemies with an orange weapon to the point of stealing their weapon, you just can't actually kill them with one. Everything is making sense in the game world, it just seems you don't like what they're doing and don't want to follow their rules. That's fine, but it doesn't sound very convincing to me is all.
