The verdict
A chaotic sandbox with a great grappling hook, wingsuit and weather, but repetitive missions and a step down from JC3, with frequent crashes on modern PCs. Skip it at full price.
Great for
Sandbox fans who want to mess around with grapples, wingsuit and tornadoes, and buy it cheap on sale
Main risk
Crashes and freezes on modern PCs, plus repetitive missions that feel worse than JC3
