What a game. A janky mess, a beautiful bit of storytelling, a series of devastating crashes, and hunting sharks with a jet ski and no weapon.

Pros. The aesthetic and writing are top-notch. I like climbing the towers and doing the rare hunting missions, which is rare. I like the crafting. I fucking love the way vehicles control in this game. The signature weapons are sick as Hell. Vaas is a great villain, and Hoyt grew on me this time around. Between Dennis, Citra, and Dr. Earnheardt, the characters in this game are very good! I also love all the surreal/drug trip missions. It's just a very fun game at the end of the day. Feels good to use the knife, bow, shotguns, sniper rifles, and launchers. Feels good to use the wingsuit (and abuse the fuck out of it). I also enjoyed the weird Assassin's Creed connection they threw in for no reason. You never quite become overpowered, but when you nail a mission, you really feel like it.

Cons. Game crashes pretty often. Not cripplingly so, but often right before a mission actually saves your completion. It runs pretty badly overall, but mostly the rendering is affected. Didn't really have frame issues. The resolution is constantly getting fucked with when you launch, re-launch, or tab out of the game. Hurk is a terrible character and I didn't like his side story at all. The escort mission towards the end is a slog.
