Pros
Pro Good amount of detail

Pro No set classes - create your own
The only limiting choice is two weapon sets, all abilities and passives you unlock and selects as you see fit. also most abilities are viable and interplay with the others so it is easy to build a powerful character around specific gameplay you like. (Google Tokyo Drift build)
Pro Puzzles that make you think
Pro Indepth storytelling

Cons
Con In game purchases
Con Very small world
The game does not offer much in the way of an open world to explore, instead there is a central city (that is on the smaller side) to explore, then the rest of the areas are pretty linear in their design. This does not make a good choice of game for those that like to explore large vast worlds.
