One of my favorite childhood games, and im glad to see it have a spike in attention. It ended up being a really freakishly accurate representation of the real world now, with companies like Flock and Palantir. F*ck Flock, f*ck Palantir, and f*ck the surveillance state.

Worth playing but its not a 10/10 game by any means. I feel like it tried to be both safe, and outrageous in spots at the same time and it kinda damages the identity it wanted to give off to gamers. The irony for this game is storyline wise it feels more relevant to the real world then ever in ways that if the game released today reviewers would pan it for being too "on the nose." But it came out almost 10 years ago so that doesn't apply. Some of my big Pros: -You don't have to "kill" people necessarily. You can stealth objectives, stun them, air shot them as options. -Hacking opportunities in the real world environment allow for fun ways to engage with car chases or enemy pursuit, or creating real general awesome chaos! -Simply picking up a new weapon makes it accessible/purchaseable. And side objectives like grabbing money bags or skill points, once you have them even if you die you will keep them. -This game understands how to implement set pieces. I will not go into it more due to spoilers but there is some really cool things here. My biggest cons: -There's no way to consistently turn off the online missions that appear on the map. You can, after each mission or event, manaully go to the map and turn the slider to "off." If you choose to do one of these endlessly populating missions, itll ask you if you don't want to do coop while searching for a partner. You hit no. After completing the mission, it will then reopen your game world to any player searching. This ignores every setting in the menu that says "don't ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ do that" (of which there are MULTIPLE). The solution is to do the mission, complete it, manually drop out of the online mode. Or my earlier suggested method, or to pull the ethernet plug. As a steam user, that last one shouldn't have to be the answer. -The ending absolutely falls flat. -The cringe factor at times of Deadsec when they are reaching out to the general public in recorded scenes kinda undermines what they say at times regardless of how real and necessary to be taken seriously it is. -Side antagonists/characters/factions are created, and then dropped and you have nowhere to go with your feelings. Even with the DLC missions, you end up with your hands holding nothing going "so we're not dealing with this, huh?" And that leads into my next problem of: -the main character, feels like the game always wants to go "alright so you can take a step too far, but we'd never do that (despite explicitly or implicitly doing so). And this causes a bit of disfunction with those extra characters and factions in how they are portrayed. And it does get a bit annoying how the characters with the main, and around him, will build up contentious points and then just drop them with no warning. It is a very slapped together affair. This is a very solid 6-7/10 game depending on how you view things. You could spend a couple afternoons and get through it and be...accepting of what you played? I was satisfied overall. But there's too many ball drops to ever guarantee any one person playing this will feel the same way. Take a chance on a deep steam sale, maybe with a friend to speed things along in the aformentioned cooperative online missions. But this is a in between game. You play this when you feel nothing else is going on. Not a priority.

its a good game but i find it ironic the corporation telling you that you have a right to privacy through three whole games is ironic considering they want you to use their launcher to collect more data on you and get more money

In 2025, this game feels even more relevant. It's a good game but if you want the true hacker experience, play with the 'Pacifist Challenge' mod by SlyCooperReloadCoded. A total game-changer, makes it so you have to use hacks to get through missions instead of guns.
