First of all it could have been a good game. But they just Oh boy, where should I just start. All-in-all it's a decent and fun entry in the Deus Ex franchise, but it is a little rough around the edges, "samey" and shorter than I had hoped.
The crashes were my biggest issue with the game because of the lengthy time it takes to load up the game, watch the unskippable logos and then wait for the save-game to load for what seems like an age. I also had continued issues with the "shooting range" in TF29 headquarters and gave up with it in the end. The first one I had was after the tutorial mission, which forces you to watch 5 minutes of un-skipabble cutscenes again because of it. I did have a few crashes though - which were annoying to say the least. When it did drop it was not noticeable enough to me to warrant cause for alarm. The game seemed to keep a steady 60FPS in most cases. As for performance - I had no trouble at all. Music is also worth mentioning here - it is perfect for the game and lends a degree of background "mood" to the game. The environment is rendered very well though - and more often than not looks truly wonderful. It looks gorgeous in most respects but is let down by some shoddy secondary character models and below-par lip-sync.
I can understand why people are upset about this and hope they don't try this kind of scam again. I don't like this idea at all though - and it feels like a big kick in the teeth at milking more money on an already expensive (and small/short) game. Micro-transactions are something you can simply ignore - to no real detriment to your game. A real shame, to be honest, since I really did want a little more for my money here. It does feel quite short - and I worry that the DLC-train will be the way they fix this. The same could be said about the games length. This is both a blessing and a curse because on the one hand, it gave them an opportunity to really flesh out and add detail to the game world that IS there, but on the other hand it feels like there is more to this game than there is. The entire game also takes place in only one really area "hub", as opposed to the grander style of the other games. The story is much more contained than previous games in the series.
I must say I came to really enjoy it in the end, after taking the time to invest in certain "must-have" augs. This, I found much easier to play with and so stuck with it for the rest of the game. After an initial play about with the different styles, I settled into a more tactful, stealthy pacifist style of play. It would, however, have been nice to have the option to go Rambo without the AI destroying you in seconds. Now, to be fair, Deus Ex has (at least previously) tried to discourage this kind of play in favour of being more tactful, so I cannot really fault it there.
I found the "shooting" path in this game to actually be one of the most difficult ways to play - since enemy AI Leeroy at you all at once and you quickly find yourself outnumbered and outmanoeuvred - even with all your cool augs to help. Secret tunnels, sneaking, shooting, persuading, exploring and using your arsenal of cool "augs" are all options. Pretty much everything you do in this game can be accomplished in more than one way. As with HR, you get the choice of how you want to play the game. Infact, it is so similar that you will sometimes wonder if you are infact playing a prettier DLC for the previous game. It plays very similar to the previous title (Human Revolution) in all respects. The game once again lets you take control of Adam Jenson and either shoot or sneak your way around in traditional Deus Ex stye. While these things are far from ideal, it certainly does not warrant the amount of negativity generated by it. It really isn't as bad as everyone thinks it is - and indeed most of the criticism seems to be aimed at micro-transactions and performance/crashing.

It really isn't as bad as everyone thinks it is - and indeed most of I am shocked that this game has been so poorly received by the PC crowd. I am shocked that this game has been so poorly received by the PC crowd.
