Title
Pros
• Parkour - motion is fluid and responsive; super well done.
• World is designed perfectly for fluid movement, it's almost hard to stop moving.
• Combat is satisfying, whether it be melee or ranged.
• Both the Slums and Old Town look great and feel lived in.
• Loot and barter system is well done, though I wish shops sold upgrades.
• Random encounters are kind of cool.
• Plenty of side quests and challenges, but half of them feel like chores (e.g. collect 5 mushrooms). Though some quests are genuinely fun.

Cons
• Protagonist is an idiot and has awful dialogue.
• Hardly any likable characters at all.
• Story is boring and extremely predictable.
• Feel like half of my deaths/failures were out of my control.
• Ending boss fight is a fucking QTE sequence.
• Extremely anti-climatic and disappointing ending.

I'd give this a 7/10 if the ending wasn't so god awful.

      Likely a hardware issue, game has run great for me on all three rigs I've had since its release.

    The sequel is slowly but surely becoming a far better game than it was on this, but it still doesn't have the smoothness this had on PS4

    the story so insanely boring but the general gameplay makes up for it. insanely detailed and fun combat and traversal. one of the worst endings I've ever seen in a big budget title like this

    Nothing is more fun than jumping from building to building only to dropkick a zombie chilling at a balcony
