TLDR: This game was a good game. its more far cry and if you like far cry 3 or 4, you should enjoy this.

The gameplay was fun; clean shooting mechanics, fun driving mechanics, good shooter overall. I think the PC controls are a little wanky. Its clearly a game designed for console ported to pc. Truthfully I used the controller over the keyboard/mouse because it felt more natural. I messed around with remapping keyboard controls, but never found anything that felt right.

I think my biggest complaint is the story. While I think the theme is interesting, I think the story is kind of lame. More importatnly my frustration with the story beats. In previous games I would go through all side missions and clear out a map before going forward with the story. That is not possible in this game. I also hate all the various mind control things. It just drove me nuts. And the story was so drawn out. Every cut scene took forever and like I said I wasnt that into the story to begin with. I found myself skipping most of the story chunks half way through.

My final compaint is performace based. I might be the only person with this issue, but based on a 5 minute search and read through a few articles/forums, it seems like most people had a similar issue. The CPU was pinned non-stop. I have an i5-6600k process no OC, and it was pinned at 100% the entire time. I tried to change settings and figure out what could cause this issue, but I couldnt find it.

Overall, I enjoyed the gameplay. I love this series. Good clean shooting, but the story is always the weakest part. Unfortuantely after finally beating the game I dont know if I will go back and play anymore. I just couldnt get into the story enough to want to follow through and the last 5-8 hours kind of felt more like work rather than enjoyment.
