An extremely entertaining story that is unfortunately overshadowed by the ridiculously large amounts of bugs. Playing the ps4 version of the game on ps5, first impressions are great with cut scenes with fantastic graphics, once in the game you start to notice that the graphics are not up to par, they are good but not as good as advertised in the run up to the games release. Some of the bugs so far are loot that is just impossible to pick up, complete game crashes (particularly annoying if the game hasn't auto saved recently or if this happens after you have been through your inventory and sold all your unwanted items), graphics glitches items suddenly disappearing or sticking on screen also some items can duplicate as they are moving and one will stick on your screen while one continues to move, one of the worst that comes up quite early into the game is when an enemy is killed you notice that the body of the enemy continues to flop about on the floor or slide across the floor, on occasion after leaving bodies on the floor in one room then leaving that room and returning can be a surprise as the body's will more than likely have moved and some will be in ridiculous positions some will be embedded in the walls and floor. the game is far from perfect but the story is fantastic, if they get the patches out in February and it's all fixed it make it to 4.5 stars, I wouldn't bother buying the game if I was using anything below a ps4 pro though as the problems one the original playstation will not be fixed overnight if at all. This is really a 2.5 star review with the current issues. The game shouldn't have been released yet, 6 more months of development would have made this a fantastic game.

Unfortunately the game developers have chose the path of reducing race payouts via patches to force people to micro transactions, if I had the opportunity to return the game for a refund I would. This is the only negative in my opinion however as the graphics in the races and of the cars are great.
