A first-person sandbox built around an errand list rather than a plot: you can complete a day's chores peacefully or not at all, and the world reacts either way. Its shock humour is entirely of its era and lands badly now for many players. Technically it is rough, and the freedom is broader than the systems supporting it.

The one that established the template: a 3D open city with radio stations, missions on call and free roaming between them. Historically it matters enormously. It has aged the hardest of the era — no mission checkpoints, no map markers for much of it, a silent protagonist, and shooting that amounts to auto-aim and hoping.

Tighter and more focused than the open worlds that followed it, with a compact city you learn by heart rather than by map marker. Driving carries most of the game. The shooting has aged badly — no proper cover, stiff aiming — and missions restart from the beginning, which turns a late failure into a long redo.
