The reviews have been very mixed. I enjoyed it but it's not without its flaws.

From what I've understood the game is good overall. The consensus seems to be that it's slightly inferior to Deus Ex: Human Revolution.
But it suffered a rather painful release. It had possibly the single worst pre-order campaign to date: the 'Augment Your Preorder' campaign. They tried locking out content behind pre-order counts. Additionally there was no way to even get all of the bonuses, you were supposed to sacrifice some, to get others. And the final tier of preorders would've caused the game to release 5 days early... till they announced a 6 month delay only a week later. The pre-order campaign caused so much backlash they had to cancel that idea within days. Definitely an example of marketing at its worst.
As the 6 months passed by, the hype receded. By the time the game released people's attention was simply elsewhere. I guess sales have been less than impressive, but they've only got themselves to blame.
