The atmosphere, world are top notch, combat gameplay is fun and the characters are really interesting. The game works in these parts and i can't complain.
But the systems that make it all work are pretty lack luster, when compared to other games, be it RPG or Openworld systems
The traffic system is barely on the level of San Andreas.
No faction System that remembers your actions and reacts accordingly.
The police is barely a factor in this game, and with broken spawning when an infraction occurs.
I remember the interviews and what was planned, and most of these Systems did not make it in the game. What we now have is single player action game with a light RPG system attached to it and some varying story decisions.
Which would be enough, if it was set in a functioning openworld that doesn't constantly remind you that so much more was planned.
I get it, creating complex systems from scratch is complicated, but i could have waited another 2 years.
