I haven't played enough of it to be sure, but nothing about the first
hour or so rubbed me as gangsta.  In terms of violence, I've mostly
been sneaking up on people and choking them out.  To some that's
violence and to others it's sport ;)  You start out with a taser gun,
so technically it may be possible to finish the game without even
killing.  I did buy a pistol, but it was right around the time I
switched over to MP hacking mode.  Most hacking matches usually end
with a successful hack, or an escape, but it can also end up in a
nasty shoot-out if the escape doesn't go well so I didn't want to show
up to a machine gun fight with a taser gun!  lol

One thing I will point it, a lot of things about the do kind of scream
"millenial" and are clearly designed to appeal to that age group.  I
understand is the target gaming demographic these days, but its kind
of an immersion breaker for me.

You could get a good feel for the overall vibe by looking at some
Youtube walkthroughs to see if its for you.
