In one word: Okay
More thoroughly:
The game itself is functional. At this point I am mostly playing out of a sense of duty for my money.
The world bulding is overall nice. The landscape, animals and plants are pretty cool. The different parts of the world are gorgeous. However at some point you just fly around with your Ikran to just unlock parts of the map. I thinks less would have actually made the game better.
The story is pretty boring to be honest. The plot really is just to defeat the super-evil enemy while doing some side missions, you really don't/can't care about an of the characters because there is way too much to do. After about an hour the main story is very predictable and everthing seems pretty repetitive.
The same goes for the missions. You can collect, defeat and hustle A LOT. But it hardly ever seems to end or get more interesting. Plus you get sent all over the place. It mostly follows the formular: Go to A, then go to B and C. BAsically you finsih the mission at point C but for some reasons the game sends you back to A where you get the reward? This is my personal opinion but I am not a fan of being chased around endlessly. I do love completing games to 100%. But I can already say that I won't do that here.
The game has many mechanics. Whether you like stealth hunting with a bow, going all out with a machine gun or using some extra techniques like poison or bombs, you can have your pick. That is pretty neat. You can also choose which weapon and how to upgrade. The leveling up only really works when you upgrade all your gear though!
The concept of getting more of the map by defeating enemy bases is also a well known concept for ubisoft. I have played the far cry games and like the concept overall. For this game though the base rading feels: unrewarding. There are simply too many bases to enjoy the grind of defeating them. You can technicall sneak around and try to shut the base down without being detected but the stealth mode is....bad. Though I admit that I am not too good at sneaking. You try to sneak around, which can bump up your "fun" base time to 30min + (for 1 of 19 outposts). You get spotted pretty easily and all hell breaks loose. The bases have, for better lack of word, a crapload of enemies. So basically you can A.) sneak around for an unnerving amount of time; B.) get spotted and rambo your way through every enemy or; C.) get spotted and just shut everything off asap.
The game also really likes to crash. At least the auto save aids you a bit during that time (not helpful after an hour long base raid btw -.-)
So yeah, I can describe the game as somewhat okay. It is not really buggy but likes to crash from time to time. The world is nice, very pretty and there is a lot to do and explore, however it lacks purpose. The story and missions really don't deliver. I would personllay not recommend it. It somewhat neither hits the spot for adventure, exploration, shooting nor sneaking.
