You play Adam Jensen, a former SWAT specialist hired to protect an experimental biotechnology firm. After a black-ops attack kills the scientists in his care, he investigates the incident amid corporate conspiracies and conflict over human augmentation.
Explore detailed locations, search for clues, read emails, and take on main and side missions. Missions offer different routes and ways to handle obstacles, including sneaking past enemies, fighting, hacking security systems, or persuading characters in dialogue.
Spend upgrades to develop Jensen's augmentations and skills, opening abilities such as enhanced hacking, strength, and mobility that can change how you reach objectives.

Across the supplied reviews, players often enjoy the freedom to approach missions in different ways, especially through stealth, hacking, exploration, and character upgrades. Many also praise the cyberpunk atmosphere, music, and story themes around augmentation and corporate power. Criticism recurs around boss fights and, for some players, the Director's Cut's performance problems or the pacing of its integrated DLC.
