The game was labeled with all sorts of adjectives such as “fantastic”, “beautiful and dazzling”, “masterpiece of the open world” and much more. However, the reviewers have also noted bugs like scripting issues affecting NPCs, enemies can see through walls, reloading the game won’t restore game state, floating guns, errors mixing sounds, and much more as noted by Windows Central .
