It could have been a decent follow up to second game, but the fact that almost everything in the game is timed and constantly rushes you to do the main story missions makes third game one of the most mediocre games in the series and among similar games.

Adding an open map and side quests to explore and making them playable in a limited amount of time is probably one of the worst game developer ideas ever. I don't want to see this nonsense in any game ever again.

Games are made to be played and every gamer has a different play style. If you don't want us to play the game way we want, then don't make games.
