It has been years since gtav is published but ı can still have fun playing the game. 9.5/10

It's 9.5 because GTA online have really long loading screens.

Let's talk about that chop first. It's jarring, especially for a precision-based stealth game. While it doesn't happen all that often and mostly outdoors, the uneven framerate has caused more than its fair share of deaths, which can be brutal given the stringent checkpoint system and quick save mechanic that doesn't let you lock in a save while you're in combat, or shortly after being spotted. I haven't had any crashes or egregious errors in both of my playthroughs, but this is a level of optimization that shouldn't have made it past the QA stage. That isn't including the often stilted voice acting and script issues, despite the compelling narrative.

With that said, the actual stealth playground is glorious. Both characters bring something unique to the table, and Emily and her subversive shadow powers alongside of Corvo and his more hands-on style of play make for two distinctly different runs. That's not including the light choices you can make (that mostly just play out in the short term), the ability to trigger hardcore mode at the start (no powers), or the chance to collect every rune and bonecharm in the game. At no point does a 15-hour playthrough feel like it contains bloat.

That breakthrough is what makes the technical problems that much tougher for me to cope with. Dishonored 2 tries to take on so much that it can't actually keep up with itself, even on PC. If Arkane can get a handle on the optimization and deliver a DLC campaign that's on par with the original's take on Daud, it'll be one of the easiest recommendations I've made all year.

Avoid Russians, have fun
