fun game

So I would to say that I think overall the game is good, the mechanics, the plot are all pretty good, but at the same time in my own opinion this game is very forgettable compared to something like dishonored, some of the slabs/powers you unlock.

Aether is just invisibility, it does not exactly feel super cool or fun to use and you cant exactly get super creative with it.

Havoc, you deal more damage, you take less, again you cant really get creative, its really simple and useful.

Karnesis is very fun to use and is one of the best, you get to throw things around, throw people around, hold people while you shoot them, theres a lot you can do with this and is one of the more creative powers.

Nexus works almost exactly the same as Domino from dishonored almost to a saddening point.

Shift is just blink from dishonored, it just moves you a short distance.

Masquerade is a Julianna only power, something you can only use in online mode, you dont actually use this against anyone besides a other player, yes its unique and it would be very cool if you could get this in solo against AI but most the time this isnt very useful against other players since they would likely shoot you if you was, or wasn't disguised.

I reordered the game, I went into it hoping that would flesh out and expand the powers you could get, sadly after a few hours of gaming I found myself wishing they had copied more from dishonored, example Doppelgänger from dishonored 2 makes so much sense in the games setting, we even see it happening with multiple Colt showing up. If you are buying this game hoping to get lots of powers you can get and play around with, I would say watch some vids about what each of them do before jumping into it like I did.
