This game is just riddled with bugs and lags.

People can sit in the car without opening the door

Second thing is the melee fighting mechanics, which are the whole core of the game as the weapons are truly scarce. The only real strategy that works in a fight is to:
1. grap smaller opponents, beat them up, run away,
2. kick bigger opponents once, run away
3 wait for the guy with a knife to strike, counter and hope none of the others are too close, run away. I think the countering system is essentially broken, where even if your reaction time is on spot, the character just does nothing to avoid damage. Best just to run in circles and grab, grab, grab.

Driving is frustrating as hell.

3/10 for good story and Hong Kong

Why don't you just play the game normally and actually fight them? I feel like this would solve your problems

Sorry to burst your bubble, but thats your way to play I constantly go in a fight, head on I don't run a way to be honest thats not a fun way to play the game. Also why would one run away if you can counter said attacks?
