Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
That said, unless you are absolutely in love with the core gameplay do not put in the time needed to get all remaining achievements like I did.

Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
Graphics are pretty nice for this type of game with convincing lighting effects and texture details, the game also has a lot of nice small touches on the building exteriors.

Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
The game looks good for a possibly low budget title and is nicely voice acted, my problem here is with the gameplay and audio design, besides the nice voice acting the soundtrack in the game comes off as annoying or forgetable with many royalty-free tracks you probably heard already on some youtube video which ruins the mood, as for the gameplay it starts pretty well, you have all the usual mechanics of a gta-like but the difference here is that youre a fugitive on the run, so you can invade houses to loot them and stuff, it comes as a simple minigame but its effective, sometimes you get wanted levels and the police will remember the car or the clothes you used, influencing you to change the car and clothes and when it comes to the police in this game when theyre inside a car they're ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ crazy, they ambush you, try to trap you and try really hard to get you, the problem is the whole recognization mechanics just feel underveloped, I thought initially that it was really cool that the police would look out for me after someone reported my image to them like what outfit I was using and such which would force me to change how my character dressed but this as many other mechanics in the game feels underveloped because I soon I was out of their range its like they forgot all the info they gathered of me making the whole wanted system kinda easy to deal with...
