Well I played all 5 hours of the demo last night and I have to say I thoroughly enjoyed it
Sure the driving is a bit wonky but I’m not playing a driving game, I’m playing a sneaking through the jungle sniping bad guys and using drones and calling in mortar strikes and upgrading and customising my kit and weapons and looking like a badass in night vision with my (AI) boys hanging on the side of a chopper swooping in and bringing mini gun hot death to those who deserve it (and some civilians, sorry) game.
In 5 hours of playing I didn’t get bored once, I would have carried on playing for another 5 hours were it not already 1am when I finished. The music is super chilled too, very Sicario-like in parts (probably helped by the fact there are actual Sicarios in the game).
Character controls were tight and the combat was great. The sniping is awesome, became my weapon of choice very quickly
The gameworld is mind-bogglingly large and packed to the gills with stuff to collect and skill points to earn, there’s so much progression available which helps give a purpose to the side quests.
I will definitely be purchasing this, don’t get all the criticism to be honest. Shitballs
