Flawed, but fun.

One of my favourites open world games, with a world actually worth exploring. The biggest flaw of this game is the mechanic of threat level in areas. Upgrading yourself and your car with unlocks that come with lowering said threat levels, but that makes the game way easier as the enemies lessen with the level of the area. Even though it has that and a really cliché story, the combat, driving and its mechanics are stellar, one of the most hype and adrenaline inducing chases and fights. Things feel heavy, from the car rams to the punches, to the shotgun and the throwables.

The open world is justified: everything that you can see, you can explore. Every little place was made so that you can find something there, a card from the past, some bullets, a camping site, an old car, you name it. That's what an open world must feel like, not filled with buildings that you can't access and are just there to compose a landscape.

Worth the time I've spent into, loved every second of it.
