You do have the OPTION of micro-transactions, but so far, I doubt they will be needed to enjoy the game. You might need them if you insist on maxing out all your powers on the same run but, if you go 'kill-em-all', then stealth, then shadow on different run-through's you'll never need to.

Cleared it out last night. No deaths, but there are big piles of snoozing guards on each floor
.I couldn't reach one bit as I needed a card (Versalife IIRC), but the google gods say I can only get that in one of the proper missions and there is no alternative.
.
No problem, I've gone everywhere it was possible to get to so far (bound to have missed something to be realistic), then gave up and did a search for the above info.
.
I'm searching and running side missions trying to get every scrap of experience and goodies I can before trying the next storyline mission (SM04). I've got over 30 grand in credits, and so many guns/ammo I'm having to sell most of it (it helps that I'm on a stealth/no kill run). A lot of the standard augs are already maxed out. BTW, there's a guy that sells praxis for 10,000 credits each so I really don't think the micro-transaction option will be needed at all.
They called me 'Clank' one time too many

Don't worry, they are all asleep as I'm on a zero kills run (was going to be a shadow run, but that's real hard!)
.
Good game so far, my only annoyance is the really stingy aug-power free recharge cap forcing you to be more frugal with the powers.
Man.. that looks like a truly crazy night
Interesting info there. I haven't seen the praxis seller yet but that's no surprise I feel like I need to revisit a lot of previous areas to 100% them now that my abilities have improved especially hacking.
I'm just at the Golem City hub. Love it. This is really pulling me in to the universe. I found myself feeling sorry for the folk there and what they've had to fallen to. Really nicely designed area all round.
OK. Finished it, and I must say it picks up quite a bit once night falls. Still died quite a few times due to the cover controls, but overall, as good as the first game and a nice setup for the next. Oh and Jezzah, I hope you've found the praxis seller by now.
*Edit* According to Steam, Human Revolution took me 38 hours to compete, whilst Mankind Divided took me 52, and there's certainly room for another play through, plus I decided to go (very) violent and storm the last mission for speed.

Nice Lobstris mate. I'm at 38 hours myself but have just gotten back to Prague for the third time. Shan't say anymore cos I can't find a spoiler button and won't ruin it for others. Any idea how much longer I have roughly lobs?
I did find the praxis seller. Have to say though that this "suffers" from the same thing as the last game. Where it was mega easy to max out the tech tree where you got to a point about halfway where you spend points in things that you probably wouldn't bother with so that aspect of the progression of character dies for me. In the last game the story and setting weren't enough to overcome that flaw but in this one the story and setting have kept it buoyant and interesting.

You've probably got 25-33% of the game still to go in terms of missions and stuff to find. But the last 1/3rd is also where the gloves came off for me and I stopped attempting to ghost as much as possible.
DX12 patch is out, gained 10fps here \o/

It did turn into a much better game than I initially gave it credit for. Story was a little heavy handed, but at least it's starting to tie in with the original game now (or at least you can see where it's going - I don't think Jensen or Eliza are going to get a happy ending...)
Happy ending? No chance!
I prefer that though, dystopian stories rarely pull off a good happy ending
