At this time with the PIF owning >90% of EA and their aggressive push towards AI, this company can not be trusted. Andrew Wilson, you are the scum of the Earth.

last time played this game during the good ol' disk. such fun. now? a new difficulty level - TRY PLAYING WITHOUT CRASH. turning off AA, adjusting shader, compability version, using the 64bit version of the game...all with the same result. only praying that this series will get it own remake. HOW I WISH.
Keeps crashing on level start, has weird flickering issues with skybox, audio missing at random times, and classic suit mode is abysmal. Default sprint is hilariously slow and sluggish. Speed mode gives a second of mobility before it complete drains, and having to toggle a wheel for suit skills makes combat so weird and wonky.
Steam reviews, mixed to its ratio and rotated daily. Opinions are theirs.
About the game
