Big thumbs up from me. Rant incoming! In terms of bang for buck its a must buy. It's not the longest game though---but the story is good like Mass Effect 1 and KOTOR were.
The gunplay is entertaining (enough), but the excellent integration of the stat-RPG system takes the combat up a step.

The game is politically/philosophically down-trodden in a cheerfully drawn world---sometimes painfully so. The game is not anti-capitalism, so much as anti-corporatism. The corporation is essentially the government, so the politics reflect that. I think it has a universal message about control and centralized power.

Religious fantasy conflict is going on between determinist dogs and free-will monkeys. Both groups are descended from the same prophet, and there's endearing characters that slant both ways.

I think there were 3 "playthrough" paths.
1. Anarchist
2. Good guy, fix it from within the system
3. Union man / Corporate stooge

I think there's more than three, Three friends and I have had 4 different outcomes in Edgewater.
