A lot of love went into this game, you can tell in the world building and time spent building the relationships of the gang. The open world was fun to explore and drive around and I never found any journey taking an obscene amount of time. The activities were mostly enjoyable. The reason it's not 5 stars is the sheer amount of issues I came across. I had to do just under 50 restarts to make the game work the way I wanted it to... These are definitely not to due to any incompetence from the developers who made everything else a wonderful experience. This game's deadlines were very sharp and with a bit more time allowed for squashing the easily reproduceable and noticeable nagging bugs it would've been a far smoother experience. I personally believe resources were taken away from the project when the team pushed for the default player character to present as a black woman. The hate this game got simply for having the courage to not bow to hate and in fact building a game in spite of it, is unacceptable. I would love to see the Boss, Neenah, Eli, and Kevin all return in a sequel, without the repeating bugs disturbing longer play sessions.
