The game was enough for me to beat every level, but not to do it with 3 stars and certainly not for me to leave it on my phone. I could only finish it because I was able to abuse a glitch to prevent me from losing lives (close the game when it asks if you want to continue a level for money and it won't remove a life).

This game was really fun! was recommended by a friend and can't say it disappointed. Graphics were good even when I had to turn them down because my computer might've caught fire, the characters were really well written and designed.
I haven't played the previous games but I didn't feel like I needed to. The story wasn't anything special, and Spoiler the boss fight against Di Ravello in the volcano was the worst point of the game, even worse than when I went back through the entire map to collect every collectible one by one since I didn't grab that many prior to the final boss. The gear challenges were fun for the most part, except for some that were horrible to complete, several of them requiring hours of work, only to need to a different vehicle entirely. I beat all of them without DLC which my friend said was crazy since the wingsuit challenges are way more difficult without them.
The controls and movement was fun, a bit repetitive and for the most part very slow but with gear upgrades it got faster. Gunplay was not the greatest but it served the game well. Liberating different settlements was very repetitive too, but I didn't really care, with the only annoying type of Chaos object being the Police station. I probably would have more to say during my playthrough, but this everything I got from the game.

Mechanically really sound, but I'm gonna stand with what a lot of other people said.
The game essentially cuts its story in half, requiring that you play the DLC to see the ending, and that ending is really lackluster. The boss fight in that DLC is exactly what I wanted, except 100x more buggy and drawn out, which made it awful. The story is really badly written even without the split and bad boss fight, so just know that while there is a plot, you play this game for the game, not anything remotely well written.
I played this game on steam, and on that version the achievements are extremely annoying and badly made, sometimes triggering much earlier than they should or the one that requires that you to fly for 100k kilometers or something like that, needing to have either ~50hr of playtime or leave your computer for 5hr on a workshop map.
Most levels are really well made, but there's a lot of really easy or uninteresting ones. Not necessarily a bad thing though, they act as kind of a palette cleanser.
As I said at the start, the game is really good mechanically, all the abilities work well together and are generally smooth, allowing for some fun precision through the good levels.
The marathon mode was a nice challenge and is a really well implemented and fun idea.
The steam version has workshop support that allows users to make custom maps, which were really nice to play on.
Overall I think the game is alright, the drawbacks are pretty big drawbacks but this game isn't bad by any measure, and for people who like good movement in games regardless of anything else, try it at least.
