The general sentiment towards the game is divided. Players appreciate the fun gameplay and new mechanics like character builds and gunplay improvements, but are critical of the game's technical performance, buggy experience, and subpar story. The choice to go open-world and the altered humor and narrative style also received mixed reactions, making it challenging to recommend the game without reservations, especially considering the pricepoint against the game's current state.
