Its Middling. It needs work, honestly. It seems they got overeager, post announcement, and rushed to release it. Quite similar to CDProjecktRed's Cyberpunk2077... Bugs, Technical Issues, Crashes... Ive heard people gripe about the driving mechanics, but honestly, Driving has never been the point of SR... Shooting, yes, but driving is basically an extra... could it be better? Yes. But it could also be worse. The draw of these games(post SR1) Has always been the puns, the comedy, the GTA-LIKE gameplay But CUSTOM CHARACTER, And the STORY. But mostly the Childish Humor.
Knowing modern games, there'll be patches, all these issues will be fixed... So my advice to everyone, Be Like a gambling addict: Let It Ride. In a year or two, if it still sucks, well... at least we still have the older games.
