I enjoyed this game a lot, but after a few days—it got kind of dull and repetitive. It would have worked better if there were some expansion packs or different challenges thrown to make it more interesting. It was worth it though—best if you can try to grab it while on sale.
It's entirely possible that you will enjoy this game. The critics sure seemed to. But I didn't. I didn't absolutely hate it, and if nothing else, it definitely succeeded in being mysterious. But I certainly have no interest in playing it a second time.
There is such a thing as too minimalist and too abstract, and I think that's where Kairo has unfortunately landed itself. There's too much "nothing" to navigate to even get to the puzzles in the first place; the setting is far too open considering how little you get out of exploring it. The puzzles were very poorly designed, uninspired and lackluster. Unfortunately Kairo's setting worked *against* the the puzzles and good puzzle design in general, even though it needn't have. This was all the more disappointing to me considering how well-made Richard Perrin's debut game "the white chamber" was.
The hint system is also badly executed. The hints always seem to go from "not helpful" to "still not helpful" to "let's just basically tell you the answer and ruin it for you".
For those of you who have played Antichamber, allow me to draw a comparison: Antichamber succeeded where Kairo failed. Antichamber is inspired, inspiring, powerful, elegant, and unforgettable. Kairo, though it tried hard, is *none* of those things. If I try, I can recall moments that felt awe-inspiring at the time; but they have not stuck with me. They were forgettable, as was most of this game.

Great open world RPG
Great cell animation, funny story plots and loads of side quests to do. This game defines what a great open world RPG can do. The story of you as a vault hunter trying to stop the evil "Handsome Jack"is very gripping. There are endless supplies of weapons to choose from and is a great challenge to play.
Following on from the main story you have to help out a sci-fi pirate moving around on a jet powered boat. Plenty of tongue-in-cheek humour, leading up to an epic battle with a giant creature. Great loot & gains you plenty of experience.
I just played through this game and had a blast. Here is...
...what I liked: - you always have the choice: go in shooting everything, killing just the target silently or in public or be a ghost eliminating your target with an „accident" and escape unseen - disguises: you can take anyones clothes and merge with your surroundings - very detailed levels: you can find many lethal objects or observe npcs to find alternate routes or isolated areas for silent kills - contracts: you can create your own contracts or play other peoples contracts in multiplayer to earn money - high replay value because there are so many ways to finish a level
...what I disliked: - the score system: you get points for everything you do but you can also get negative points for being spotted or killing non-targets for example. It makes sense but it also ruins the gaming experience somehow because it you always have to choose carefully who to kill and always hide every body just to stay at 0 points... On the other hand, points don't really matter as there is nothing you get for them. You can still unlock everything by shooting through the levels. - the disguise system is really cool but there is a drawback however. people with the same clothes can still see through your disguise. So if you wear a cop uniform you should still stay away from other cops as they will recognise you even from a large distance and alert their friends. It may sound realistic but actually it makes disguises useless in some parts of the game. - the checkpoint system: some levels don*t even have checkpoints at all. And if you load from a checkpoint all enemies respawn. Its like starting the level again from another point. You keep your items however.
All in all I think this is agreat game and really enjoyed playing it. I rate it 5 of 5 because the points I disliked are just minor annoyances.
If you like games like DeusEx i recommend buying this.
