Haven’t played the original fully, but loved the story here the acting and writing was phenomenal. A very simple game mechanically as while the open world is beautiful it’s merely a backdrop for the story to take place in. Some collectibles are hidden throughout the world, but I didn’t have much incentive to go after them. The 1930’s aesthetic is beautiful and driving around is super fun with the more realistic handling compared to GTA. The gunplay felt a little clunky with a bit too many bullet sponge enemies (got direct head shots that sometimes didn’t kill instantly). Also very repetitive structure that can get tiring, especially in the latter half of the game. Definitely worth playing for the story/characters and some fun missions.
