Cons:
- Can’t change look or outfit
- Abysmal performance on the standard ps4 (don’t know what the average fps was but I’d guess <30 ) **That being said I got a ps5 halfway through and wow, that’s how the game was meant to be played. Incredible.
- Not given a choice in very important decisions made by the protagonist
Nitpickey:
- Can’t climb things that look totally climbable
- Frequent poorly timed radio conversations
- Super repetitive npc’s (“I was doin’ it… ya know… with a john… I was… an escort…”)
