Ok ok so I succumbed to temptation and DL'ed it.
it's VERY good, obviously lots of bugs etc. to be expected but .. it just FEELs right.
I had no idea what I was doing, and failed in combat immediately, but the STEALTH aspect, taking cover from sight lines and camera spotlights, hacking doors and devices, dropping into the matrix for a look at connected devices .... All of it .. just WOW
