It is refreshing to play some more linear game from time to time. This game has no experience points like some other games (eg. Far Cry 3) promoting certain style of gameplay, so you can change you playstyle between stealth and combat, which gives gameplay lots of guilty free diversity, One moment you are sneaky, then get discovered and guns starts shooting - it feels natural and the progression felt for me very natural and movie-like. In general it has some significant Indiana Jones and Tomb Rider vibe. Stories are interesting, locations varied and charactes have some charm. In general the games mixes very well different sections of gameplay with climing and story moments, which for me in the main campaing were a litle bit too long. Climbing is very good and there are usualy two ways to get to the same places, so it effectively creates an illusion of less linear than it really is. There are sections with driving off-road with some chase fights, which are great thanks to some degre of freedom between drivign your own car, highjacking others and shooting. The game has great graphics especialy in Madagascar and in the jungles throught both campaings. The highlight is a color palete that gives somewhat light and optimistic obveral tone. The basic campaing is more a shotter than advanture game, which is fine, although I found dlc campaing more engaging, due to small but great looking open world location with one or two side quests, more puzzles and ramping up paste and stakes in the story towards the end (great last section in the train). There is added simple lockpickig minigame with stashes containing treasures, unique weapons (silenced pistol) or ammunition. The encounters with bosses (if you can call that armoured cars with turets, helicopters and big guys with miniguns) are better design than in main game. In general if you have a free weekend and want to play and finish some good game this one will make you satisfied - time and money well spent.
