The most divisive mainline entry: it opens with hours of orphanage caretaking before the crime plot starts, which is either the heart of the game or a wall depending on who you ask. Okinawa is a welcome change of scene. Combat added enemy blocking that many find frustrating, and the pacing never fully recovers.

The most content of any entry, with raids, settlement building and a genuinely long saga across England. Combat is heavier and more brutal than the previous games. Length is the problem — well over a hundred hours, with arcs that repeat their structure region by region, and it asks for far more time than its ideas sustain.
