This turned out to be a pretty ace game, on par with Far Cry 3-4, call it 3.5. The graphics and NPC animations are very good even at all low graphics settings (YMMV). It is playable but choppy at 1080p on my budget rig, about the same as FC4. The missions are satisfyingly challenging but not impossible, and the maps are open world. Bonus: it's not Ubisoft.
