Shelved next to Grand Theft Auto V Legacy for good reason: dark, oppressive atmosphere, open world exploration and melee combat. The common ground extends to exploration and discovery, and a third-person camera. Where the two diverge is visuals and progression: skill tree progression and 2D presentation.

Same family as Grand Theft Auto V Legacy: dark, oppressive atmosphere, open world exploration and melee combat. To that it adds exploration and discovery, and single-player focus. They part company on visuals and combat: this one brings an isometric view.
