A surprisingly enjoyable GTA installment, and a worthy port to mobile devices.

The story is quite gripping, with Tony helping Salvatore completely take over Liberty City. The mafia-themed narrative is truly enjoyable to watch. The missions, overall, aren't quite as polished and structured as other installments, but they certainly deliver the GTA experience – drive, beat, kill, blow up, steal, escape, and encounter several unique LCS-specific situations – and it was all quite engaging.

The gameplay itself is also worth noting. The cars handle very responsively, much better than in III/VC, almost on par with SA. I've probably tried more than half the game's vehicles, and there aren't any truly terrible ones. Each one is enjoyable to drive, but they have their quirks. For the first time, they've given you the ability to dual-wield weapons—it's awesome, something I've missed in previous 3D games. Specifically, the Android port now allows for both manual and auto-aim shooting, which is very convenient. Auto-aim is a huge help, but sometimes you just want to shoot yourself. If I'm not mistaken, this wasn't possible in III/VC, and in San Andres, you couldn't dual-wield weapons in San Andres; you had to switch to the menu (but I could be wrong).

Seriously, only two weapons. For a player, the only weapon that's truly valuable early on is a full-size UZI, but later on, that magazine becomes completely useless.

Having a shotgun, a micro SMG, and throwables would make that magazine more useful. And a bulletproof vest would increase the value of that magazine for a space player.

It was my first Call of Duty game since 2008, and on my third day of playing, I learned about skill-based matchmaking for the first time. Basically, you just need to look at the skill levels of the two teams. It was a bot farm... and I was the bot, hahaha.

Does anyone know what the problem might be?

found an easy way for myself: finish each final campaign in Miami. The method itself isn't 100% foolproof, but most targets there love to stroll through the parking lot, which is a huge blind spot. If the targets can simply schedule a meeting, that's jackpot.

This is not a game of ordinary contrasts, I understood this even when I first got acquainted with Blood Money, when I started replaying it back in 2017-2018, and now World of Assassinations reminded me of this again.

Returning to this wonderful game for the third time, I decided to try Freelance mode and got hooked. It's truly interesting, and the concept is reminiscent of Blood Money. However, after three or four days, I suddenly felt like just shooting. I was thinking about playing Call of Duty, but immediately remembered the "wonderful" level "Calorado" and decided to cause a massacre there, without silenced weapons. Having shot my fill and completed the level on my third try, I returned to Freelance mode. I started a new campaign, and somehow the stars aligned wonderfully. When I took on the prestigious Silent Assassin mission in Dartmoor, I really didn't expect it to be the easiest Silent Assassin I've ever completed, and the 7100 reward was even more amazing. After that, I simply quit the game; it was the most satisfying ending to a single-player session in months.
