This frustration might be more forgivable if the quasi-open world offered substantial activities. Although the map of New York is sizable and well-rendered, the available diversions are limited to achievement-style objectives and collectibles. The core of the gameplay lies in story missions scattered throughout the city. While players have multiple missions to choose from, the mission structure remains largely uniform, with combat relying on a repetitive combination of dodges and attacks. The intended rhythmic experience often transforms into a test of endurance, particularly when facing numerous enemies with extended takedown times. Unfortunately, the combat camera exacerbates these challenges.
