The longer I play the game, the more I'm liking it. This genre isn't usually my cup of tea. Too bad Ubisoft chose Chicago as the setting*. It's a drab city for a game. But, Ubisoft did a good job in capturing its feel, especially the run-down sections of town. It also has the best depiction of rainy weather for a game of its type.
The PC version is unoptimized with stuttering problems for many. I'm one of the lucky ones who doesn't have issues. I mean the game is unoptimized. I can feel it. But, it's smooth enough so gameplay isn't affected, be it driving, running, or shootouts.
*Ubisoft should have chosen a California city by the coast such as Los Angeles or maybe somewhere along the Central Coast. The proximity of the Coastal Mountain Range allows different environments within a short distance ranging from the beach, the coastal city itself, alpine scenery, and the dry desert farther inland.
It's the same with Seattle. It's desert (sagebrush country) on the other side of the mountains which you can see via Google Maps. Too bad Sucker Punch didn't make its world bigger.
