a flawed masterpiece that more than once touched my heart with its well told story presented with outstanding (voice-) acting, well written characters, music and overall atmosphere.

The is good, especially melee combat (i wish i had a haptic controller) but still you can feel it on mkb too, story is good, open world, bike customs, real hordes, pretty great but i wish it had a multiplayer expansion, you will not regret it, good optimization, was getting 40-60 fps on med
