An open world city “crime and drive” game set in Paris during World War 2. It feels a lot like what a WW2 Assassin’s Creed game would be like. You play as a foul-mouthed Irish racing car driver who, after getting caught up in some Nazi scheeme, flees to Paris and ends up joining the Resistance. Your main tool is dynamite, which you set, run away and watch the chaos. You can also steal uniforms, scale buildings or use gunfire to cause distractions.
Some missions force you to play in a specific way, while others give you a bit more freedom. The main story is fun, but I do wish there were more side quests and activities. There are an immense amounts of Nazi equipment to blow up across the city (and surrounding areas) but it’s doing the same thing over and over.
One thing that is really nice is the black and white style (with a few choice colour highlights) that the game starts out with. As you spread hope, the colour comes back, and the contrast between grey/colour areas is really nice to see.
Great
