E.Y.E: Divine Cybermancy is a game that is harmed by a combination of its own ambition and lack of any desire to really explain something to you. It contains some old-school challenge, but is mostly marred by poor AI and a broken stealth system. The shooting mechanics, while solid enough, are not very fun, but the hacking system is great. The multiplayer is fun but chaotic. Essentially, E.Y.E. is a game of extremes. Mostly this means that the game is extremely confused about what it wants to be, but there are moments where it shows it could be something more. A bit more explanation and back story, a lot more clarification in the menus and a retooling of the AI, and the game could be great. The developers have told us that there is a patch forthcoming. If it fixes the technical and translation issues, then the game could be much more playable. If the patch fixes the menus and clarifies the nuances, then it could be amazing. E.Y.E. is on the brink of being a good game, but as it stands now, it isn't. Maybe this will change after the patch, but it is hard to recommend this game as it stands now.
