An expansive open world action-adventure about blowing stuff up and bringing order out of chaos. Why? Just 'cause. The story is clearly not the main focus here. What sets this game apart from other open world action games is the grappling hook and parachute mechanics. These can be used in a variety of ways, including in conjunction with each other providing a fun means of traversal, somewhat reminiscent of Spider-Man's web slinging.

Unfortunately, there isn't much to do in the game world other than discover locations, grab collectibles, and of course, cause chaos. Chaos points must be accumulated in order to trigger the main story missions, of which there are seven. The pacing is quite poor, most side missions are repetitive, and it's easy for the game to lose its appeal and feel like a grind.

Therefore, I can only recommend this on sale, if it piques your interest. However, do note that there are numerous bugs, and issues with the application crashing. Some posts mentioned turning off "bokeh", but I didn't see that in the display options. What worked for me was turning off motion blur, decals, soft particles, v-sync, high-res shadows, and disabling the Steam Overlay. Everything else was set to max.

PS: Other than the crashing, which also affects Windows, the game ran fine on Linux with Proton-GE.
