Good modern day RPG without Orcs or Robots

I really enjoyed this game. It was a nice break from the usual sci-fi or fantasy theme of most RPGs. I liked how it forces you to make quick decisions in the moment and then prevents you from quick reloading if you didn’t like the outcome. There were only a couple times when I felt a dialog option misrepresented what the character ended up saying. The voice acting was great and the story kept me engaged to the end, even if it was fairly standard spy fare. If you change up your play style and make different choices throughout the game, the branching story should keep future playthroughs engaging. The combat and stealth are partially based on your stats and partly your skill, and enemies can feel like bullet sponges if you don’t aim for critical shots by getting a crosshair lock. The combat and dialog systems reminded me of Mass Effect 2, and the story reminded me of the TV show Burn Notice. The PC port of the game was stable, bug free, and looked good, though I did have some annoying mouse sensitivity issues when using fixed place guns. I’d defiantly recommend this to someone looking for a new RPG with an unusual theme.
