It's honestly really amazing how well the story carries this game because everything else is kinda trash. The gunplay feels sloppy, and driving is okay, but the world also feels flat which when you are comparing it to other open-world games, it just heavily falls short. It's really just the amazing characters and acting that help pull this game across the finish line. Each chapter feels eventful and a real piece of a greater story. If possible I would just experience the story and forget the actual game.
