companion AI

Diana is not passive support; her hacking is essential to both combat flow and overall progression.

Key is one of the most consistently praised elements. Reviews describe her as helpful, warm, useful for sonar and deductions, and sometimes the best mechanic in the game.

Companion AI is supported by one hands-on note that a partner can automatically take down a nearby second enemy during stealth.

Companions are useful in combat support roles, especially when helping thin enemy groups during larger engagements.

Crouton adds a useful twist by briefly turning enemies against each other, but companion play is treated as a light supplement rather than a core pillar.

Summoned allies can help as distractions, but their AI is often described as unreliable and sometimes wasteful.
