I am not good at this but I will give some pros and cons.
It is a cross between Wildlands, Far Cry 4, Sniper Elite and some other open world games. There really isn't anything unique for this game, all of its elements are from other games.
On the PS side it is $59.99 for the full version and season pass. For some reason the season pass is not included in that price on the MS side. MS is not happy about that!
It was almost a 50GB download, mine was done in less than a half hour.
Here is a HUGE con! It takes 5 minutes to load AFTER you hit the X to start! They know about it, it is intentional because they felt having faster fast travels and restart check points would be better. I don't know IF I agree with that.
IF you plan on playing this game, plan on having a LOT of time needed to accomplish goals. Some people ran through the main storyline in 8 hours or so, I however, take my time and try to complete the side missions, release hostages, find the Easter Eggs and so on.
The graphics are pretty good, granted I am on a Pro and a 4K TV. That being said, you can tell this wasn't a big budget AAA title. There are some nice affects but nothing to jump for joy about.
The story line, so far is Ok. I only have a few hours in but this could be good campaign if the story line holds. I am just not that far in to it yet.
The controls are little jittery. When aiming down a site and trying to adjust a fraction it isn't very smooth, it is almost like it snaps to pixels a little. I had similar issues with Home Front on the PS4. I play a lot of 1st person shooters and Ghost Warrior and Home Front are the only 2 that give me a queasy feeling from the movement.
I have had it freeze on me a couple of times, at one point in the middle of a "mission" that took some time. So now I get to start that mission all over. I like to be the stealthy type so I take my time. Sometimes in this game, that is irritating because of their lack of save points. I also get to load for 5 minutes even before I start that long mission again! UGH!
I would also like to know where they purchase their ammo, $300 for 10 bullets? Those fuckers better get headshots even though I am not aiming! Their market system is pretty bad even though you earn a ton of money if you do the little side missions. I loot everyone and everything I can. Hence why it takes me time.
One of the things that is irritating to me is the delay when using an item like the drone or driving a car. For example, IF you use the drone, you press the up button, and the drone animation starts and completes. You have to wait until the animation completes before you press R2 to climb, you cannot be holding R2 before completion and have it start to climb when the animation is complete. It just isn't smooth with those functions.
I wouldn't recommend paying full dollar for this game unless you are bored and want to snipe some people. It is ok, nothing special or unique that makes it stand out. At least with Sniper Elite 4 there are some nice affects like the X Ray hits or extra mission where you have to kill Hitler. If you don't have Sniper Elite 4 or Wildlands, I would buy those 2 before Warrior 3.
