Tips
  • Experiment with different weapons and combat styles to find what suits you best.
  • Don't be afraid to retreat and regroup if overwhelmed by enemies.
  • Upgrade your abilities and equipment whenever possible to improve your effectiveness.
  • Listen to audio cues, as they can often warn you of approaching danger.
  • Explore thoroughly to find hidden items, resources, and side content.
  • Pay attention to the story and character interactions, as they provide context and sometimes useful information.
  • If you encounter a particularly difficult enemy or situation, consider using special abilities or items.
  • Remember that certain actions might increase your wanted level (the star icons in the top-right showing how aggressively police pursue you), attracting more attention from hostile forces.
  • The game features DLC (Downloadable Content) that can offer additional items or challenges.
  • Interacting with NPCs (Non-Player Characters) can sometimes lead to substories or helpful information.
