Pros:
- Great gunplay
- Makes you FEEL like a mercenary, constantly making you question your choices
- Great setting and atmosphere
- Cool mechanics like gun jamming and malaria seizures
- Enemy AI never ceases to surprise you, with enemies trying to run you over and cowards hiding from your shots
- Fire physics means an accidental molotov could change the tide of battle

Cons:
- Disappointing story
- Meaningless main and side quests, with the player having to fetch this or do that with practically no variation
- Bus fast travel system means spending most of your time driving around the map
- Guard posts that you have cleared respawn like 2 seconds after you leave, making completionist stuff meaningless
- Driving around the map combined with having to pass through guard posts makes for an annoying experience
- The game just isn't deep, it doesn't have much to do besides repetitive missions
- Annoying bugs, ranging from bouncing npcs to quests that can't progress because you can't interact with npcs
