3.5 is somewhat my score.
The gameplay feels repetitive somewhat in missions needing you to make your own fun and challenge yourself. But I appreciate the change to combat making it feel much more new and exciting, guards often overwhelm and even pull out guns to take you out quick which is incredibly refreshing from the usual see em shoot em ai in ubisoft games.
The recruiting mechanic is unique and breathes much life and replayability into the game, but that being said you might want to leave it a while before coming back due to the gameplay point mentioned earlier.
The story. Oh boy. Overall really hard to get invested in dedsecs new ops with them being husks of people and the same voice every 6 character. But one shining example Bagley, I loved the AIs character. The mostly hard to connect to characters aside the story is pretty passable at best basic plots, until, the SIRS sections (no spoilers) but that was a blast to play and had me invested heavily.
To cap it off you'll like this game if you enjoyed the tone of WD1 and the gameplay of WD2 without wanting a perfect story and perfect characters. Cool premise, just okay delivery the Ubisoft special really.
As a side note the season pass should come with WD1 but for me (and several others) physical ps4 editions seem to have a bug and can't get it yet, not a great start to a launch I must say)
