UPDATED REVIEW - 135~ hours - Post 1.21
----------------------------------------------

1.21 has been the patch that has really improved my experience with this game. I still feel that the world beyond the quests is lacking in content, and I hope they add more to the world with hobbies, customisations and more, but Patch 1.21 has improved the game for me a lot. I've lost any minor issues I had and can run the game on top settings across the board and experience no issue.

On replay, everything feels better - driving, combat, NPCs, traffic... it all adds to the immersion and makes the game a fair bit more enjoyable.

Next gen graphics, old gen gameplay.

The ONLY thing that this game does phenomenally well is the world design. That's it. everything else is decidedly average.

I enjoyed the game, but the world feels empty, devoid of anything to do outside of scripted missions and painted-map side-quests. It's a beautiful shell devoid of anything inside.
