Some other stuff I forgot:
(for people tuning in downthread, I'm talking about Ronin, which is an awesome game you should buy)

I played with an xbox controller. The game fully supports it, and shows tooltips for available actions with correct button names (A, B, X, Y, LB, RB, LT, RT). Left stick to run, right stick to jump, d-pad to scroll (the whole level is visible, no limits, no fog of war).

Reloads are automatic and fast. Not Teslagrad-fast, but fast.

Checkpoints are numerous and "smart". I never got stuck in an unwinnable situation due to an autosave, I never accidentally overwrote the perfect beginning of a run with an optional challenge failure after I found out how they work. Checkpoints save progress throughout the level: e.g. if you sneak through a building to stealthily pick off potential reinforcements from further down the level, then wade into battle through the obvious earlier main entrance and then die and respawn at said entrance, the game will remember those kills.

The hitbox is smaller than the character sprite, and she automatically ducks (which is also satisfying).

Sometimes, more enemies spawn on the level. One of the challenges is to kill all enemies, and it's shown as completed before the spawning happens, after which it "uncompletes". It's an okay design choice (if you see every challenge completed when you're next to the exit, they are in fact complete) -- the alternatives are (1) a "you feel something is off" warning and (2) an empty level with an incomplete challenge (bad, bad, bad!), but it did weird me out. Spawning events are unmissable -- you won't have to run around looking for a trigger.

The game isn't realistic. It's not possible to pick up enemy weapons or switch the lights on and off. That's okay -- it's not a realistic infiltration/murder sim, it's a game about slicing corporate goons in a classy way in bullet-time.

The length of the game is perfect for what it is. Wanting moar is normal, but I realize I'd have probably got bored wih moar of the same, and moar content would've changed the game.

There is, however, a new game plus mode, which is said to be harder (for one, machinegunners fire in cones). I haven't played it yet.


The bad:

Collision detection can glitch out. Twice, I was trying to grapple onto the ceiling and jumped through the roof (thus leaving the battlefield and losing a challenge), and once, I jumped off a very high building and got stuck in the floor. Both times, I reloaded from a checkpoint without significant losses of progress.

A couple of levels are annoyingly straightforward (but still fun, in a way). E.g. there's an obviously trapped room with doors and you just know guards will appear when you touch a computer, but there's no way to prep the battlefield to make the fight easier.

Some skills might be better than others. I don't think I ever used the sword-throwing tree, but then again, I picked it last -- maybe I developed my tactic based on the skills I did pick first and stuck to it. (Anyway, I got all the skills by the end of the game.)

Hints can be annoying. (They can be manually disabled, by messing with the files.)

Finally, civilian behavior can be a pain in the ass (personally, it was very satisfying to learn it and, having learned, to sneak around like a pro hanging guards like Halloween decor all over the place and to watch civvies showing each other powerpoints, with a body swinging above them). I got annoyed exactly once: turns out there's a way to send off an empty elevator, which is required in the game exactly once. Given how highly stylized other interactions with the environment are, that was unexpectedly out of genre and stumped me for quite some time as I tried to brute-force the challenge. (And fwiw, I've never seen an IRL elevator which can be sent off empty -- I think they're designed that way, for safety and utility reasons. So, arrrgh.)
