I'll start with the bad things, I guess:
- weird mechanics, cause I'm obviously used to GTA V and San Andreas
Escaping police, fighting, you don't recover life at all if you don't find a restaurant and eat, TOLL and making a character IMMORTAL just so rockstar's story would make more sense making you get to the right part of town to watch a cutscene
- Bad performance
This on pc is UNPLAYABLE without patches and mods you find on internet
- Too much tutorial
Everything has a goddamn notification "press this, do this"
About the good parts:
+ The radio...
Rockstar never gets it wrong! Jazz, rock, calle 13, Elvis Crespo, some russian raps/hip hop and, of course, the messed up chit chat in it.
+ They payed attention on every detail on this GTA
When you get near a running car, you can listen to the muffled radio, when someone tries to enter the car and you start driving, they are dragged with it, the moves your character does, you can feel they tried to do it as real as possible for a 2008 game and you can hear people in radio talking about a mission you just did
+ The story
It's much more deep than GTA V, for example, emotional charge, etc. Unfortunately, I felt it just got like this towards the end, cause most of the game is the GTA recipe: go there, kill this man, come back, etc. But It's a goddamn fine story
My verdict? Give it a try. I'd say It's the third best GTA, behind San Andreas and V, clearly.

I'm speechless...
The atmosphere of this game is amazing, just like the story... There are these bottles lost in the ocean with papers in it, I read it all the 10 and I was like "cool, a 'secondary story' written in the game, I like it'' BUT THEN I REALIZED, IT WAS NOT ABOUT SOMEONE ELSE and man... Also, I got the good ending, cause I EXPLORED THE FUCKING MAP, do it if you're gonna play it
About the gameplay, don't expect something completely new and wow, but It's cool and relaxing

The story is intriguing, I really got into the whole "I feed the bodies the mafia kill to my pigs", the feelings about the farmer's family, but the gameplay is weird. I mean, why would you make a game with "choices of dialogs", but when you choose it, the character just says "hmm" AND DON'T SAY WHAT YOU PRESSED, AND OBLIGATE YOU TO SAY THE "RIGHT OPTION"
What the hell? I get when you do that as something crucial, at a point where the conversation asks for it, but for 5, 6, 7 times? It doesn't help for a game that is about 1 hour and you don't have enough time to get attached to it. Well, I got reflexive, but that was it.
Also, the best part of the game was exploring the house, with the options the game didn't put on the notebook, the telephone and bill's room mainly. You'll learn more about the story doing this, than reading the dialogs. The fishing thing was just extended more than it should.
The achievements made me laugh sometimes, there's also that
Well, if you got it for free, I'd try it, but honestly, if you have limited amount of money to spend, don't buy it. It's pretty mid and It's not replayable.

This game is flawless.
The music leaves me speechless, with a mix of songs like jazz, vaporwave, experimental, electronic and Asian that make me not want to play just to pay attention to each melodic line.
The graphics are so fluid, so well done that it gives me the feeling of being 3d. Even the game menu and the settings part are beautiful.
The gameplay is challenging in the right way, I see many comparing it to Hotline Miami, but definitely not. HM works with RNG, which is not very noticeable here, so the gameplay is not frustrating, just enjoyable to see your evolution with patterns. The slowmo is really pleasant, the parry and all.

First time I try a rayman game and It's amazing
This is a great platformer: supposedly for kids, but you have to save fairies with huge cleavage so they can give you powers!
Just kidding, but yeah, this is an addictive fun! The animations and soundtrack are so well made, there aren't any obvious bugs, it doesn't even look like it was made by ubisoft
If you like the genre, give it a try, you'll feel like a dummy cause it's the hardest childish game ever
