It's a mixed bag. The shooting mechanics are fantastic, pretty much top of the genre. So is the art direction, the areas that are there look fantastic, color palette is nice and varied. I also like the constant stream of loot for armor and guns.
But there is a lot if bad. The areas are very nice to look at but there is not enough of them and you have to revisit the same areas multiple times. The story is atrocious. People have said there is a lot of lore and story if you go to the website and read the grimoire cards but I'm not going to and I shouldn't have to. Why doesn't the game have a tab on it's menu to find and read all of the lore like every other game in existence? Voice acting, Bill Nighy aside, is poor. I also don't like the stop start nature of the missions. Mission variety is also extremely limited, you know the ghost is going to scan multiple machines in each level which will trigger hordes of enemies.
I'm level 16 and near the end of the story now. I tried the multiplayer for one match yesterday and it was decent, but 95% of my game time is spent in singleplayer so I don't think I will spend much time there at all. I may try some of the strike missions and whatever else there is.
Overall I would give it a 6.5. Pretty enjoyable, but flawed. Seems like the kind of game that has set the foundations for a fantastic sequel, like Assassin's Creed, rather than be fantastic itself. I am not disappointed though, I was never hyped for it and am borrowing a friend's cpoy anyway
