This game is a pretty fair departure from WD2, it feels like they took the criticism of only being able to play one character too seriously. The characters in this one are basically just chess pieces to sacrifice to so so mission mechanics. Some missions have you wandering around a neighborhood hoping to find the right house with no waypoint, others have you trying to survive while staying close to a terminal, which even with multiple skills ends up in a comical run around the desk area biding time for hack/disable to come back or your cloak to be availalble again etc. It is fun in it's own right but as a successor compares poorly in my opinion.
