Mission: The Missing Data

The game begins with Jacob Diaz, a former special ops soldier, starting a job as a senior security officer for a tech company in a futuristic desert city. He was hired due to a military-issued tech implant that may grant him control over robots or make them hostile.

Jacob has amnesia regarding a past incident in the desert and is motivated to uncover the truth, protect his employer, get revenge on the military, or pursue a hacker he rescues.

Despite being an open-world game, players are frequently forced into story missions, with NPCs calling to urge them to reach destinations immediately. Failure to comply results in reprimands.

After completing a mission, players are often immediately locked into the next one, requiring them to travel back across the city, enduring further nagging from NPCs.

The open world is described as largely empty, with a city and desert landscape offering little to do.

Gameplay primarily consists of token rounds of cover-based shooting against inept enemies. Jacob's drone superpower is limited to deleting a single target when its cooldown is ready.

The game includes tailing missions and a single safe-cracking minigame, both considered uninspired.

Optional race challenges are found in menus rather than being organically discoverable in the open world, suggesting a potential scaling back of the game's design.

The plot is convoluted, featuring a secret alien temple beneath the city, with players backtracking multiple times to confront the main villain.

The character of the billionaire tech CEO, a thinly disguised Elon Musk stand-in, is ambiguously portrayed as either a manipulative figure or a misunderstood visionary. The plot shifts to defending his projects from government opposition.
