Date played: December 10th
Platform: PS4
Session fun rating: 8/10
I finally played more of the campaign mode and made my way through 5 missions. While the combat isn't anything I haven't done before, the environments I went through and the scenarios were pretty great. We tried to rescue a ghost that was captured by going through a sports stadium and killing tons of dudes. We used tear gas too which was pretty useful. The coolest part of the level was using a remote sniper which we had setup earlier. I used it to clear out the outside areas before going in on foot.
We soon discovered that our dad was a ghost all along and that we've passed the tests and are now part of the ghosts! We learned that a former ghost named Rourke is hunting down our team members for the Federation. This is where I played a flashback mission, back when Rourke was a ghost. The mission itself was simply about killing a dangerous man, but the twist is that half way through, the city was flooded by an explosion somewhere and we were swept away by the current in a hectic sequence.
We then went after Rourke himself in Caracas. In a spectacular sequence, we zip lined to the side of a giant building and rappelled down to the target area, stealthily shooting enemies along the way. Unfortunately, it was all a trap set by Rourke and we had to make an amazing escape as the building collapsed and we glided down to the city in parachutes.
Finally, we found more intel that led us to a weird off shore base where Rourke is hiding. The mission had me flying an attack helicopter, destroying enemy vehicles and infantry with missiles and machine guns. The controls didn't allow for vertical control, which made this feel mission feel more like filler than a fun time. The ground segments were a little better, but this mission was pretty mediocre. We did find Rourke though and managed to capture him.
I also played a bit of multiplayer but I didn't really have much time left and had a very average performance.
