I feel like this game is the closest we've gotten to recreating MGS4 in a game ever. The pacing in this game is all over the place, the villains are awful save for one who is written out of the story unceremoniously only to reappear out of nowhere before credits roll for an unearned finale. The constant need to grind for money/job levels/exp creates a feeling of immense bloat between the story's high points that essentially just exist to exhaust you. The ending might be the most unsatisfying these games have ended since Yakuza 3.
