You can turn anyone into a canon ball and shoot them, dive into the ground and whack people dead with an anchor. What can i say more? It's an Mimimi's game, get it, play it, 100% will have fun with it.

this could be a great game that can be put next to shadow tactics and Desperados if not for:

1.Stupid, buggy AI: loading a save can easily mess up the AI in many ways: make them able to see things that they obviously should not :player proning in a bush, wearing a disguise (yes, i do realize some type of enemies can see through your disguise, but when the AI is bugged, they can spot you regardless of their rank and your disguise), become immune to the player's abilities and the worst thing is alarm in this game are a total joke, most of the time you can ♥♥♥♥ up and just dip because the AI is so stupid, all they will ever do is running around like a complete idiot, ring an alarm and go back to patrol after less than 5 minutes. (in ST and Desperados, if u ♥♥♥♥♥♥ up, more enemies will spawn, making the level harder which is not the case in this game).

2. Noise system: How the ♥♥♥♥ can a knife kill make twice the noise than running? you can knife a guy in a hallway and his buddies in the next room can still hear it.

3. Dogs: in addition to seeing through your disguise, these ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ things have huge circle detection range that can detect you THROUGH A WALL, and the 2 only ways to get rid of them is using guns (which make as much noise as a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ bomb or using ONE character's specific ability who you wont unlock until later in the game) which make dealing with them a complete pain in the ass.

4. Greta: Whoever design this character should be put in jail, of all RTS games i have ever played, she is the only character whose ability to keep a low profile is completely useless, for anyone who don't under stand, in these kind of games, enemies will have a detection range under a form of a cone divided into 2 sections: clear line of sights (enemies detect you when they spot you) marked with a solid color, and limited line of sight (enemies can only detect you if you're not in low profile AKA prone or crouch) marked with stripes and Greta is the only character who can still be detected by enemies while moving in low profile (only way for her to not be detected in low profile is to stay still), which is completely ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥, why would you give her an ability to lay low when it is useless regardless?

5. Auto save: i'll make it short, the game will randomly save the game for you and good luck not getting it saved the moment you ♥♥♥♥♥♥ up, it will auto load the most recent save, another useless feature yet here we are.

This is gonna be long so bear with me why you should not play this game:

-♥♥♥♥♥♥ balance: Bungie rarely know wtf they are doing as weapons they want you to use and become part of the meta or the meta itself wont always strong enough to fufill their purpose BUT those Bungie deemed ToO PoWerFul will 99% be nerfed to the grounded, forever be damned and wont ever see the daylight, on rare occasion if they ever be useful again, it will be because of the so called "seasonal mod" which change each season and when the season ends, their uses end with it. Imagine you are having a good time with a weapon and then boom, some random dude on social media rant about how powerful that weapon is in THEIR PERSPECTIVE and it catches Bungie attention, 90% that weapon will be target for nerf and like i said, you know what's coming.


-PvP: it sucks as skill is not everything, you have to pay for the activities that drop the good or even best guns and grind the ♥♥♥♥ out of it to stand a chance and even so, you will still die to other ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ like broken abilities, exotics, guns and perks or get gangbanged by a bunch of guys in mutiple directions because 90% of the maps in the game are TO ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ SMALL FOR 12 PLAYERS.


-Exotics: there are like 99+ exotics in this game and only a handful of them are viable, imagine you spend lots and lots of your precious time to grind for an exotic just to find out it's hot garbage the moment you got your hand on it and this also applies to raid weapons, which you only have 3 chances per week with 5% each chance for the weapon to drop. Best case scenario those raid weapons will be mediocre or viable for a few seasons and got nerfed for no ♥♥♥♥♥ reasons or they are ♥♥♥♥. The fun part is of the 6 or 7 raids currently in the game, there are only 2 weapons are good as ppl actually use them and even that is not the worst part, you can only equip 1 exotic weapon and armor and of course what make exotic different from legendary weapons are their intrinsic perk or EXCLUSIVE perks BUT bungie decided to ♥♥♥ those exotics in the face and created discount version of their exclusive perks for legendary weapons, therefore add more trashes to your exotic collections. Example: there is this bow called Trinity ghoul which exclusive perk is when you kill an enemy, your next shot will create a chain lightning to electrocute all enemies near the impact point or target, dealing high enough damage to kill all rank and file adds, and recently bungie added a perk which do the very same thing on legendary weapons, turning this bow useless as you dont need to waste an exotic slot anymore.
Lastly


-Seasonal content: at this point i can say for sure Bungie dont know what the ♥♥♥ they are doing as every seasons and expansions play out the same, the first season come with the annual expansion will be the most invested and is fun to play (90% of the time) then all following seasons will be ♥♥♥♥ and it has been like this for the past 2 years. When a season started, you will have to do an introduction mission to unlock the seasonal artifact then grind your way up to unlock its mods and the ONLY effective way to do so is do bounties, rinse and repeat which is ♥♥♥♥♥ boring, to add more pain to your suffering, the seasonal activities are also ♥♥♥♥ as all of them recently are kill and deposits ones which are ♥♥♥♥♥ brain dead, just imagine doing the same thing all ♥♥♥♥♥ seasons over and over again, just look at the previous season, it ♥♥♥♥♥ sucks that it annoyed people and this very season is already ended before it even begins as it have like zero content, only a new dungeon. Bungie dont do good content twice as what they succeeded and praised by the community, they never do it again, if you know the menageries and forge, you know it was a good time, i might even say those are the golden age of Bungie, not anymore.

To sum up Bungie obviously went downhill with this franchise as they cannot deliver good content like they used to, the quality of the game clearly worsen but the price of annual expansions go up in price every year. It has come to a point when even the community is having fun making memes out of this game than playing the game itself and its content creators dont know what to do and move on, players dont know what to do when they turn on the game and eventually quit. 3 years ago this game made me regret not playing it sooner but now i regret not gave up on this mess sooner and save me a ♥♥♥♥ tons of precious time and money.

Best combat system out of all of Ryu ga gotoku's games so far, story is still amazing as ever from the main story to the school's side story, plus you get to beat the ♥♥♥♥ out of the bullies as an 40 yrs old detective. If you are a fan of the Yakuza franchise or the first Judgment, this game is a MUST BUY.

Up until now, i haven't regret buying any game ( even the ones i bought for fun and never touch it ) except this ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ mess ! after a ♥♥♥♥ ton of patches and countless " Various stability and performance improvements " the FPS is still ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ all over the place ! not changing 1 bit ! to be honest despite people complaining this game sucks because of the amount of bugs ! i rarely encounter one simply because i can't even play thanks to the ♥♥♥♥♥♥ FPS ! Cant believe the dev of Witcher 3 and this game are the same ! the game is simply not worth the money ! they say they will keeping on fixing the game but at this rate, to be honest, this game is beyond saving.

Waste of money ! the first season was good until Bungo decide players should do more Bounties ! i'm suppose to be a Guardian saving the Galaxy not a Bounty Hunter !

true masterpiece, the GOTY of 2018 should have belonged to Arthur and his gang

Great game ! veryyyyyyy good

2 reasons not to play this game:

- Crashes constantly at random interval, this happens all the time on a daily basis, if your team is not crashing, the enemy will, 100% of the time.

- Ubisoft connect, this is the 2nd worst client i've ever come across, be prepare to reset the game and the client if you play in a group cuz this ♥♥♥♥ will bug and make all the invites inaffective.
