Just passed the 20hr mark and I think I have played my money's worth, I don't think I'll finish the game for few reasons:

• Pacing
• Tedium
• Objective

First 3 hours of the game was interesting by then the 5-10 hour mark when every side missions/objective (including dlc) are thrown at you, the tedium starts to creep on you. To play-through the main story objectives you would have kill targets on the kill-list, but before you get to them you would have to do the tedious side missions to get to them. There are 10 targets, yes 10 targets and they span out side missions for all of them. Those side missions all play the same and wears you down before you could even get to the interesting part of the killing them and the main story.

I've played through 2 story dlcs (Faster, Baby! & Stones Unturned), although they were short they were actually enjoyable and fun to play through.

The games still got hilarious bugs, some annoying but whatever (escort missions not failing when the car you protect is already blown up or kidnapping npc not registering that they're in the car).

In short, I can see why this game isn't the favourite for fans of the franchise. But I can't help but appreciate that Hanger 13 went out of their way to make the game an open world. When these tedious side missions just derail the whole experience from the interesting parts of the main story it is hard to stay invested when it just feels like a chore to play through.

In the end, I recommend the game at a deep discount for what is it. Just wished they didn't over pad the game with tedious side missions to get to the main story.
