This is subjectively a great game. After trying the Bureau forever ago when my computer couldn't even get past the first big fight, I still decided to buy this. In 2012, I'm sure this game was way more stunning; now, not so much. With my first couple of playthroughs I played on impossible and ironman mode, only to quit and restart 5 or 6 times before deciding to put up with the unforgiving consequences. This game was tough without the training wheels, and was still hard in my second playthrough with the dlc on classic mode without ironman mode. Towards the end, with the dlc, it gets a lot easier. (Also, the hint "not one of the most populous countries" is broken; for me it was Russia.) I loved it at first, but really didn't enjoy playing it a second time. Purchase only when it's on sale.
