Fun game but the devs didn't take idea of being able to play as anyone where I think they should have. There's zero reason to recruit someone with a unique skill set because all missions play out the same. If they had made missions require certain skills to complete the recruitment system would have been a worthwhile addition. Instead the game's main hook is wasted potential and because of the recruitment system there's no central protagonist making the story really forgettable. I suspect that's why they ditched recruitment for the first story DLC by adding in characters from the past games.
There's fun to be had in this game. Just not a lot of depth.
