A game so good at being large and chaotic that it actually justifies being open instead of feeling like a double edged sword. There's pretty much always something to do, and never really a dull moment. And yet on top of that it has really well structured missions, a good story and an absolutely amazing art direction and atmosphere. Even just looking at the map and not really doing much of anything is strangely engaging, these feel like real places that could exist and not videogame setpieces.

The fact any of this is good is exactly why the series getting big turned 3 into all of the issues I have except somehow even more shallow, if you want a work of art this is what you're looking for, not the ones that dumbass Youtubers did letsplays of
