However, as my curiosity was rising, fear was decreasing. As went deeper, I imagened how great and unique this game is, and how much efforts and creativity team put in it. After 100 hours that includes main plot, all sides quests and "The following" chapter, I should say, it deffinitely worth it. What should I mention: 1) Unlimited parkour system (jump from one place to another in various ways, not limited by the building shape); 2) Weapon variety (hard to count, but about 20 types with hundreds for subtypes) 3) Attaching improvements to weapong (customize weapons as you like)l 4) Large locations (both Slums and Old city are huge, and have a lot of places to explore); 5) Tons of non-standard side quests (hundreds of NPC's have interesting non-template quests that make game interesting); 6) Night mode (making adrenaline in your body rise, even after 100 hours); 7) Buggy riding in "The following" chapter; 8) Random events that pops out near you; 9) Online Co-op mode: 10) Great optimization. It is so great, that I have no idea, what should be fixed or added. Good job Techland.

Probably one of the best games I've played as far as movement is concerned. The atmosphere is excellent and the visuals still hold up very well, despite being nearly a decade old; with good performance as well. The story is somewhat flawed by a few plot holes, but I found it very enjoyable on my first playthrough, with lots of funny moments. The Following's expansion story is better than the main game's story. Gameplay is king, though. And it has that in spades. The optional Be The Zombie mode (asymmetric 1 vs 1-4) is quite fun. I've heard rumours that it's got a lot of cheaters, but in my very limited experience playing BTZ, I haven't noticed one yet. The Hellraid DLC is supposedly terrible, but I haven't played it, so I can't comment much on it. Even so, the rest of the game makes up for that. It's a steal for the 10 euros that the game and all its DLC cost at the time of writing this review. 3 euros for the base game isn't bad either, but you'd be missing out on The Following which would be a shame.
