Wild how good this looks, absolute peak for the series in terms of tone and fidelity in the game world. Unfortunately while the iconic glitches that made the game so infamous back in 2014 are gone, the game still suffers from sluggish, unresponsive combat and a valiant albeit failed attempt at reinvigorating the parkour systems, all wrapped up in a weirdly live-service-esque game before the trend was really established.
If they could just ditch the stupid future shit and have huds and menus that feel properly integrated into whatever time period we’re playing in, they’d be on the right track. If this one had been released a year later I feel like we’d still talk about it as the best one of these games.
