Bigger and better paced than the 2013 reboot: tombs are more numerous and more elaborate, and the crafting and hunting loops give the hub areas a reason to exist. Traversal is excellent. The story is forgettable and the survival framing sits awkwardly beside a protagonist who kills dozens of people without comment.

A reboot that keeps the open-world crime structure and the customisation depth — the character creator is the strongest part — but pulls the tone toward earnest. Combat is serviceable, driving is fine. The mission design leans on repeated activity types, and the shift away from the earlier games' absurdity leaves it without a clear identity.
