Special powers are extra bonuses, not necessities. That’s not really exploited because pretty much every character can do anything you need. Its unique feature was supposed to be that you can play anyone. Assembling a team of your choosing is the main draw for the game. Stuff like that keeps me playing the game to see all the different interactions that can happen. Then a couple hours later one of my operatives got kidnapped by a relative of the dude I killed! I had to then go rescue my operative and escort them safely out of the enemy compound. For Example, I killed this Albion(Enemy Faction) guard during a mission and didn’t think anything of it. The characters remember what you do to them to. One cool thing that I noticed is that every character in the game has their own life and things they do throughout the day. However, there is no place to store vehicles and I found myself running on foot alot because I didn’t wanna drive a big ass bus to the next mission. You can steal any car, most are automated by A.I. The car aspect of the game is kinda shitty though. London is fun to explore and the city does feel alive. The fun of it is choosing how your Dedsec team is gonna look. The gadgets are fun to use but like someone else said, all characters you recruit can do pretty much everything in the game.

That being said, I honestly couldn’t tell you what the plot of the game is about because imo it’s not really engaging. Its a lot of fun getting into firefights and just mowing enemies down with finesse. The hitmen have a skill called gunkata that basically turns you into John Wick. Most fun part for me was having a team of all hitmen.
