OK. So played for a bit. Here’s what I think thus far…
- PC version - no crashes for me at all so far.
- First few missions seem fine and enough like the early part of JC2 that hopes are up.
- In the cities/sites/whatever in areas you control, hovering over them brings up the name and something that says ‘0/x completed’ - ie, the starting city, I think, is 0/2, the initial ‘base’ is 0/3, etc. The problem is - I have no idea what that’s for. There’s clearly something to do there, but I have no idea what.
- It does seem chaos is needed to allow you to move forward with missions at some point, so destroying things clearly will be in order. So that’s all good, I guess.
- No challenges seen as of yet. It’s early, tho.
Bottom line - for at least the first few missions, it feels enough like JC2. But I’m also still sort of waiting for it to ‘open up’, and I’m not really sure what I need to do to do that.
