“Fun, open world. Plenty of stuff to do no matter where you go. Gameplay is fun, but becomes tiresome. Weapons feel awesome to shoot. Story: 6/10 Gameplay: 8/10”
“It's a cool game. It has great graphics. The story writing is interesting. Tends to be repetitive after a while, so that's why I didn't really finish it, although the fighting mechanics are pretty decent for a 2018 game.”
