@oopsiezz from what I've noticed so far, it seems like enemies will use their guns more often if you are using a gun, if you go in fists raised they tend to do the same, so I think maybe it's like an adaptive difficulty thing? Not sure if it's an intentional mechanic or if I'm connecting dots that aren't there.
I disagree with almost all of this review (and that's fine, reviews are subjective, not everyone needs to love everything). But it seems like the reviewer was just expecting something different and decided since it wasn't that, it was therefore not good. The stealth is very prevalent, but there are options for every playstyle. You absolutely can go in with fisticuffs or a gun, running frantically and improvising weapons as you scramble away from fascist goons. The melee combat is actually really tight IF you do it correctly-- instead of spamming your attack buttons, try to parry a punch and then counter with the opposite fist (if you catch a punch with your left, throw a right at them). The open world areas are very dense and can take up a great deal of your time, but almost all of it is optional. If you want, you can absolutely just blast through the main story missions. If you have game pass, do yourself a favor and check it out.
