The driving is even superior to that of GTA in my opinion. The fighting style in the game is just so good! I loved how realistic it gets. I will be honest here, it has its pros & cons - but overall, I loved it! Pros: - Combat. I just wish there was more more mission variety, more to do in New Bordeaux, and that most of the bugs and glitches were fixed.Ģ8h PlayedI love this game. Plus, one of the trophies is bugged and didn't unlock for me even though I fulfilled the requirements for it. Lincoln gets stuck in walls, the scenery disappears, some trucks that you have to steal don't spawn even when the objective to go steal them is active, and the game crashed 4 times for me making me lose some progress. But the worst part of this game is that it's still buggy as hell 2 years since release. There is also very little to do in this open world, which sucks because something to break up the monotony would have been nice. However, I actually didn't mind all of this that much because tactically killing people in this game is super fun, at least until about 20 hours in. You'll also never need to buy anything because you can just pick up guns/ammo from all of the people you kill. If you pick the right ones, which is pretty easy to do, you're basically unstoppable. There is also no reason to grind out the missions (except for completion's sake) because money is mainly used for weapon, vehicle, and Lincoln upgrades. However, all of the missions play out the same and this game is formulaic as hell. The game also looks great and I really liked the music and how it added to the 1960s atmosphere. Tactically taking down as many enemies as you can, if not all of them, before going loud or getting noticed is the way to go and I had a lot of fun with it. Lincoln prefers the stealth approach because of his prior military service (this is actually mentioned in game), so shootouts are pretty difficult. The gameplay is also pretty fun, especially the combat and the driving. I'll never be a fan of saving this stuff for DLC. Donovan was my favorite, though I wish there was a bit more about his backstory and reason for helping Lincoln. The other main characters all have their own distinct personalities too with interesting backstories. Lincoln is an absolute badass and I loved seeing how he would brutalize the people on his hit list. It's alright.ģ2h 28m PlayedThis game recently came out on playstation plus for free so keep in mind that this review is for the game 2 years after its release date (all of the updates and patches were used): Fantastic story, characters, and atmosphere! The themes of racism and vengeance in this were very well done. Significant performance issues, like with jitters all over the place, a bad frame rate, crashing, and broken physics. They basically always send you to the swamp to kill a few people and steal a truck or whatever, and it's just not good. + The final missions where you take out a boss from each district is story driven and satisfying though. At best you're given a couple of districts to choose between to take over but you only really get those kinds of segmentations and not proper open world exploration. Strangely the open world itself doesn't ever really open up properly. The quality of the missions themselves itself is fine, though even then they often repeat locations when you're taking a sub-boss out. In order to take out a single boss from a district you need to take out a couple of subbosses, both of whom have several side missions each that you need to complete before being able to take out either of them. The driving itself has issues too, like being able to have your car smash in to a bush and be brought to a stop. This does improve later on though when you can get access to fast cars that can be called in anywhere, so at least the commute time can be reduced. Show, not tell! + The actual tale of Lincoln Clay's revenge is good though Gameplay: + Shooting is satisfying + As is the stealth + As is the melee, though it doesn't have a proper melee system per se - No fast travel so you have to drive everywhere, and boy is there a lot of driving. A lot of it comes with retrospective interviews which just spoil what is going to happen before letting you play it. Weird lighting issues that make everything look off + Sounds good + Well acted ++ Amazing soundtrack! - The storytelling is often poor. 40h 3m PlayedPresentation: + Environments look good +/- Character models are more of a mixed bag as most of the main ones look good but some don't, and a lot of the NPC models out and about in public are repeated models, plus the lip syncing can be off.
