Great game

It's a nice game with a very beautiful atmosphere. Overall it's a good game, and i have spent arround 30 hours doing the campaign + the 2 playable dlc's, all locations and special items found.
I have a large list of both minor and large complaints, so i have made a pros and cons list of the game, to better review it.

Pros:
-----------------
1) Very beatiful ingame world, theres a lot of unique places to see and explore.

2) There is a small variety of weapons to suit different playstyles (etc close or long range sniper, ninja with bow and throwing knives, or normal soldier).

3) Most missions or enemy fortifications have multiple entrances and wayes to get around and clear them, (though normally there are only 1-2 ways in unique places killing some of the freedom/freeroaming for the player).

4) There are many awesome gadgets and upgrades avalible for the player... sadly you have no need and wont realy use most of them. (i realy like that you have to repair the silencer when it breaks for example)

5) The game dosent have the largest maps, but there is 3 decent sized maps with many unique enemy fortresses and other awesome hidden locations.

6) The campaign is a bit cliche but its a decent size campaign and together with side missions and explorations there is a lot to do in the game (personally i think the campaign is a little short, and it feels kinda rushed with some plot-point just explained instead of shown/played)

Cons:
-----------------
1) the cinamatics + the main menu loading screen looks absolutely garbage quality, like what games would have over 10 years ago. The animation of the people in the cinematics looks kinda short and boring they dont look lively. The way the people talk in the cinematics are also underdramatic and liveless, you (i) dont feel the "vibe" thats suppose to catch the player and make them feel like they are in the game. overall the cinamatics are realy bad.

2) there is alot, i mean alot of potential for interacting with the environment and give the player alot of different wayes and places to explore and complete missions... all of wich have been waisted and not put into the game. Giving the example of the climbing system, where its only very few places they have been placed. normaly with the placement on 1 route in every area or mission the player is supposed to use to complete or find the objective. The game also have a horribly executed climbing for the player, it looks weird and jumping from legde to legde is badly controllable and when you jump to another ledge it often dosent grab on or response correctly.

3) all enemy encampments and fotresses fell much the same. The environment, bases and access points are completly different though. but its the same setup of guards, there is still a variety in numbers. theres always 1 or 2 pairs of enemys, 1 somtimes 2 guarding the gates, and mostly 1 somtimes 2 snipers covering. what im trying to say is the enemy is placed the same places every fortress, you hardly need a drone since its predictable where every guard stands. + they can normally be killed in the same order every time.

4) there arent alot of vehicles presented in the game, which is fine acording to the map sizes and the locel area the game is presented in, but there are military cars and trucks that you can interact with... that interaction being to be notified its locked, the only car you can drive is spawned where you fast travel.. and i think 3 trucks that you steal during the campaign. my point being you should could steal and drive the available vehicles presented.

5) the "dlc's" are ridiculously small and dont realy feel necessary. the escape of lydia, you start out by already having escaped, and being told a cool story about lydias escape.. proceeding to do 2 small sniper missions in the main campaign map (lazy much). the sabotage on the otherhand introduces a new map, and you play from Roberts perspective (the protagonists kidnapped younger brother) yet the dlc dosent show or tell much about roberts transition to (spoiler), it's there but it's showcased kinda rushed and without many parts (tradgic event, take pills). the map and campaign of the dlc is also realy small.

6) the map "the village" have a cool mountain area... i realy wish there was a parachute or a glider, for the player to use and come around.

7) the game is recording the players accomplishments a little bad, i have had experiences where it dosent record people i have killed from the most wanted list, while they have disappeared from the map (and the area) and i cant kill them again. some new things in the inventory dosent show as seen aswell.
