One of my favorite video games ever. The ambiance is top tier and hasn't been replicated IMO. It's criminal what Square did to the launch of this game. Crippled the launch with a huge dose of MTX right before the launch in an era of MTX-aversion.
And then the 3rd game was killed a year or two ago. It absolutely deserved a 3rd game.
Amazing game, but I was really shocked when it was suddenly over, at what felt like not even 50% of what I expected the duration/story to be. But truly amazing visuals, ambience and world building in general.
I felt the same. I think it's in part to just how long the first game was (somewhere around 27 hours). New York, California, Nevada, Hong Kong, Paris...and multiple areas within each. Cheateaus, military bases, Liberty Island, research facilities, corporate offices, at least one church, a large ship, and of course multiple sewers...the game really felt big. I can't say there are many action-RPGs that come close to both that scale and variety.
To me, Mankind Divided felt amputated. Like the story was just ramping up and then suddenly here’s the final boss fight out of the blue, thanks for playing! I feel like they intended to do much more but run out of money or time

I see it as a local story of essentially retired hero, so scale is not as huge as in prev iterations
It's such a shame we never get more of this series
By far one of my favorite franchises
