Could have been an all timer sandbox game if it just had better mission variety. The maps look amazing and have so much potential for interesting interactions and mission design, the arsenal of tools you have to use are varied (although it takes way too long to unlock them all), and obviously the physics engine and destruction mechanics are incredible.
70% of the missions in this game are the exact same thing with very slight variations, pick up six items, an alarm will start when you pick one of them up, so you have to plan out the best route to get all of them in a time limit once the alarm is triggered.
It baffles me how often the game relies on this mission type, considering how many other potential objectives the game could have gone with. It also cripples the game's pacing as every mission is the exact same length, throw some shorter, and some longer missions in there for Christ's sake.
