Dull
Monotonous gameplay loop
Plenty of bugs and a general lack of polish
Lifeless combat
Getting around Oakmont is boring
Combat is boring

Traversing the city can become tiresome

Abstract: Private Investigator Charles Reed is a very tired man. In fact, out of every video game character I've ever seen, not one is as visually fatigued as our solemn protagonist. It's obvious from his demeanour, but it's more obvious from his horrendously blood...
