Can I give it a 9 just for the humor

Is humor considered story?

6/10

The moment-to-moment storytelling in levels is fun to unravel and compelling to uncover with well-realized targets and civilian fodder alike with even the tiniest of details not going unnoticed; the overarching story? A mess of cheesy, boring spy clichs that is unbecoming of both the game it's in and the psychological darkness that came before in the series.

3.4

played this recently and really enjoyed it but 3.5/10, almost all of those points coming from some fairly interesting and entertaining targets.

6/10

I enjoyed what was there but unfortunately there isn't much

Certainly a story element. American Psycho and Catcher in the Rye wouldn't be two of my favorite books without the humor. And nobody would care about Kurt Vonnegut.

6/10.

It dies better than expected thanks to the humour and mission stories, though the actual main plot is bland and 2 and 3 have much better stories. One thing 1 does have over them though is its cinematics, it was the only one where they had a Square Enix CGI budget and it shows.
