It just makes me sad really, you have this beautiful cityscape made by hundreds of artists but there is no dynamic gameplay and the AI is worse than some games from the 90s. I can't see what value this has after the main story is done. I got a similar feeling from Mafia Remastered, a stunningly atmospheric recreation of 1920s Chicago but it's just in service of a handful of static missions which nobody will remember 6 months from now. It's such a massive waste.
As much as Watch Dogs Legion was mostly a typical Ubisoft trash game, there are these flashes of properly dynamic gameplay there with story-related NPCs you can actually visit, recruit, mess around with or even kill, which pisses off their relatives and friends. It's the first game of its type (Open world with instanced levels) where the missions aren't completely separated from the open world. I really wish more games were like this.
