I was thinking of getting it but I heard the boss battles are really crap. Really tempted to pick it up though as I love game which offer you multiple ways of playing.

I'm about 25 hours in and there have only been two boss-battles so far, so no big deal.

Also, and this is a spoiler, so don't read if you don't want to be spoiled:





















There is an augmentation called Typhoon which fires ball bearings out of your body in a 360 degree arc. It does HUGE damage and only costs two praxis points. Both bosses I've encountered, I've killed in under ten seconds by shooting them with the stun gun, then using Typhoon twice in a row. This apparently also works fine for the 3rd boss.

If you're worried about the boss battles, it's worth getting that Aug, only if you only use them on bosses, because it trivialises them. By the end of the game you have more than enough Praxis to get all the Augs you want, so don't worry about wasting them.
