Plays wonderfully but runs out of steam once you hit the second half and never recovers. Compared to the second game's dense open world and numerous options for progressing, this railroads you at multiple points and feels like it's missing content. It's story is stronger then before, sure, but that's not a high bar to begin with.

Still, it plays very well and when the gameplay loop does hit well it's a blast to play. All of the new weapons and guns introduced are a blast, and the DLC for the game is arguably the highlight of the experience. A good time diversion, but there are better open world experiences out there.
