Not very far, I got past Liberty Island and the meet-and-greet with the coworkers then got to the next level and stopped there. That’s good to know, I’m okay with jank I just felt like it was really hard, not that I’m particularly good at games in the first place but still I struggled through the first level so knowing it gets better after that is motivating
Yeah, the beginning can be pretty difficult, the problem is that you’re mostly resigned to slowly crawling behind guys and bonking them with the baton or prod (unless you exploit the jank to your advantage) - later on, when you’ve accumulated some guns, leveled a weapon skill up to Advanced, and installed some augmentations you’ll be a lot more flexible, both in stealth and in combat. Liberty Island can also be quite overwhelming as a first level, they really expect you to have played the separate tutorial level first.
You could also look into mods - normally I’d suggest staying vanilla for a first playthrough, but if you’ve already bounced off it a few times it might be worthwhile to try.
