Loved this game more than I thought I would. What it sometimes lacks in mechanics or story, it makes up for with the overall vibe. I found the open world fun, and it goes without saying that the boys can’t be beat. And the music is obviously phenomenal (shoutout to Yoko 🫶🏻)

My main reasons for not giving 5 stars:
- The day/night cycle was more annoying than anything
- The boys’ skills didn’t contribute to anything really. Seemed like it was added just for… fluff I guess? (survival skill especially wack. Also, unnecessary to have fishing imo)
- not always having fast travel options on the regalia was taxing, especially when trying to clean up side quests
