A letter to anyone like me who's tired of lootboxes, DRM, battle royales, and microtransactions - Get. This. Game. I have never left a review on Steam until now, but this game needs more publicity than it's getting. For $45, you are getting: - Fantastic single-player story - Likable characters - Amazing graphics & immersion - Solid optimization (roughly 5 hours in as of this review - no crashes or bugs so far) - Incredible soundtrack & musical score - None of the things I mentioned in the very first line of this review (lootboxes, DRM, etc.) I totally didn't need the cosmetic DLC, but I decided to buy it anyway because, unlike so many AAA games on the market nowadays, this one in particular has actually earned my respect - and therefore my money. If you want another obnoxious battle royale game, you're out of luck. If you want the "thrill" of playing a digital slot machine for the 1-in-1000 chance at getting a fancy weapon skin, look elsewhere. This game reminds me about all of the reasons why I love to play video games in the first place. If that's what you want, then you've come to the right place. Sincerely, Just an average guy named Ryan.
The art direction is great and I really appreciated the added photo mode. The story is interesting, the characters are simpathetic, the soundtrack is great and I can't praise enough the pace of the game. The one thing that could be done better is the combat / stealth gameplay, but the encounters are pretty quick and there are not too many of them. The last boss was kinda weird and I can see people having problems there, but I'd say it's more frustrating than difficult. All in all great job Asobo! I'd certainly love to see more games like this one.
More games need to be like this. Great Story. Simple but nice gameplay. Being Linear is not bad, I'm fed up with open world games with a thousand mediocre and just bad things to do. Less is More. Quality over Quantity.
