I wouldn't even bother torrenting that to be honest, I never understood why it got so much praise. It looks like just another mediocre open world action game.

It seems a little silly to recommend for someone else not to play it when you yourself don't even know anything specific about it besides that it's an open world action game.

I got some recommendations from friends of mine.

Since I became a dad, my focus on games has shifted massively. Super deep immersive games are now en par with “Get in there, do some busywork with plenty of explosions and quit the game again” types of games. Since you can't play long sessions or multiple sessions back to back anymore, “mediocre open world” that gets you in and out there fast becomes actually something worthwile since you're never playing long enough to become tired of the busywork.
