Honestly kinda funny playing this game in 2023 and seeing the franchise turn from a level based, gameplay driven game to an open world, narratively driven game in later entries. Shockingly, I kinda liked it? The harsh difficulty seems to be what most people critique, but I enjoyed that since it led me to use every weapon in my arsenal and being careful while infiltrating camps. What is bad is the near infinite range of enemies, the AI and sometimes the level design. I do think it is worth experiencing just to see how it stands against later entries.
