The character building in the story and the themes are really good, and I also enjoyed V and Johnny Rotten and their relationship tremendously. However, the way the game is structured and the story combined with the open-world game are atrocious.

The intense time pressure that the storyline badgers you with at every beat becomes absurdist comedy when the story missions finish and you start doing side quests. This is especially bizarre in the tone difference between the main story quests and the companion quests which have a huge influence on the story itself, but usually make little to no reference to the extreme time pressure.
