The verdict
A chaotic open-world sandbox built on grappling hook, wingsuit and huge explosions that still feels great. Skip it if you want varied missions, good driving, or reliable saves and online-free play.
Great for
Players who want mindless explosive sandbox fun, flying with a wingsuit and grapple, ideally on sale
Main risk
Repetitive base liberation plus bad driving, crashes, lost saves and forced online login
