It's a great game overall with a lot of ambience and fun gunplay. The graphics are very detailed and the lighting is very realistic.
It has a few issues though. It's very, very linear and restrictive; You follow some NPC around in tunnels with only one way to go and ride on vehicles a lot. Some very long cutscenes cannot be skipped (like when you have to hide under a trolley).
There's no way to go back once you leave an area, even by accident. There are a few times where I wasn't done exploring or looting an area and triggered the next chapter to load by accident. Forcing me to restart the entire chapter in order to see what I missed. If you need just $1 to buy something in a shop, well too bad because you will never visit it again once you leave. The 2 armor types are available at one station early in the game and if you can't afford one, you have to wait until much later in the game to buy one.
There are no quick savings, just a console like auto-save system on which you have no control.
Also, the way gas mask and filters work is quite confusing. It would be nice to be able to manage the filters properly and know which ones are new, used or almost finished. Right you can sometime change a filter and no time gets added to your watch, which is puzzling. Did I just swap a dead filter with another dead filter? Is it a bug? There is no way to know.
I'm not a fan of the "revolver/assault rifle/everything else" loadout which is imposed on you. You must have a pistol and assault rifle at all times, but you can't have both a pneumatic weapon and a shotgun. I would gladly have swapped my assault rifle for something else in some chapters.
