Played through in 30+ hours.

The technical problems are overrated, i really didn't encounter any major bugs. Maybe I was just lucky. After the day one patch I am also fully satisfied with the keybindings.

The game actually has decent graphics and the overall vibe of "Miami Vice". It may not be the most advanced title in the world, but the cutscenes are nice to look at (especially the smoke), lipsync is very well done and the audio is somewhere at 9/10 for me. And don't forget the soundtrack - it actually makes you stay in the car for one more song instead of doing the mission.

The screenplay in this game was a cliché story (guess what, it's all about revenge) with lots of cliché characters, but surprisingly it doesn't really feel like a bad thing. It rather feels like one of those action movies - there is a decent plot, but it's not one that has many unexpected twists or is hard to follow. There is a decent amount of humor, some of it rather dark. And the ending is perfect!

Shooting feels really good in the game and it's a good thing since you get to shoot A LOT.

Now to the points that are a bit disapponting:
they tried hard making this an open world game and they somewhat succeeded. But, what I would expect from an open world game and where this game falls short is the ability to stray off a preset course and not break the gameplay. The dumb AI make this hard - it acts OK is you play the game as the developers intended, but acts very stupid if you start to improvise.

Driving feels pretty good, but again - in an open world game I would expect better collisions (solid bushes in 2016, really?) and a better damage model (crashing may or may not destroy a couple of lights, that's it).

Missions are a bit repetitive, but so are they in pretty much all open world games. So no real difference there.

Overall it's a pretty solid experience and i would recommend this game to people who are into story driven narratives.
