It falls victim to some of the same traps Deus Ex did – guards who don’t act logically when they find a body, stumbling across alternate ingress routes on your way out of a building, and a massive propensity amongst the world’s population for leaving weapons and potions and books lying around. But the world is very interesting (when was the last time you played a stealth/melee first person game set in a plague-ridden steampunk city?) and the gameplay is excellent.
