It grew into a game without as many bugs. I feel mixed recommending the game too strongly despite having a few dozen hours in it.

The main story didn't hook me too strongly. Its one of those main storylines where the more you progress down the storyline the worse things get for the protagonist. If you like the protagonist you don't want to torture them. If you don't like the protagonist you just feel disconnected from the whole thing. I started with liking the protagonist but ended up more on the side of not liking them.

The side missions and exploration was a lot of fun. I especially enjoyed infiltration/theft missions which offered a variety of solutions. Either quiet hacking stealth mode, guns blazing mode, stealth killing, stealth knockouts, or just running in and out. Or some blend of all the options.

Hmm, any thoughts on how its "open world" compares to similar games like GTA/SR or Elder Scrolls games? Asking because I kinda feel like if I were to spend a few dozen hours just appreciating the beauty and depth of the game world then I might be reasonably happy with it, and you do make the side quests sound good enough for the purchase.

The city areas always felt pretty busy and active. But under the paint there isn't a whole lot to do most of the time.

I liked getting fast vehicles and driving them in the desert areas at full speed. Some of the country vistas looked pretty awesome.

I've never personally liked cities, so they bothered me with some of their gritty realism.
