Pros:
- Graphics
- Some very cool characters
- Aiden is a cool protagonist
- Good villains, though I feel like they had more potential
- Jordi is one of my favorite characters ever, and I feel like he was underutilized
- Some original gameplay concepts
- Relatively fun side material
- Serviceable narrative that was just missing that x-factor for me
- Exciting escapes and stealth elements
Cons:
- Gunplay is pretty bland
- Wasn’t a fan of most of the clothing options
- Chicago felt way too clean, and maybe even a bit plastic. It never really felt like an alive environment.
- It’s hard to say what’s wrong with the story. All the pieces are there, I just think it probably could have been framed in a way that would have made it great.
Nitpickey:
- Can’t start missions from inside a car
- Driving mechanics aren’t that great, although I did get used to them and can’t say they're too bad. I just hold all open world driving games to the standard of gta.
