I played the first and the second game.
As someone who read the books right before playing - I didn't much like the way they treated source material, especially the second game.
As someone who doesn't really play modern AAA games, I didn't like it that much tbh. The stealth felt buggy and the levels felt very linear (which was kinda ok with me, as I often get lost in 3d levels). The checkpoint system was very annoying and would often autosave you in a bad situation (say after you wasted too many consumables and are now out of ammo, or haven't brought that one weapon good for the enemy you're facing etc). There's a lot of segments in which you don't even get to move (on rails or boats) which are super boring, and some scripted fails (sequences in which you fail combat no matter what because the game wants you to). Guns are kinda boring and not great fun to shoot or upgrade. Like I said, I have zero experience with modern FPSes (only recent-ish games I've played are CS:GO and Borderlands 2, and I didn't love borderlands either) though and mostly play indie and retro bs, so I have little comparison to anything.
I'm not sad that I played it but I'm happy I don't own it and wasn't too mad when the third one was an epic exclusive without linux support. It's OK I guess if you think you'll enjoy the theme.
