Cons
Con Linear story-line doesn't allow free movement
Once you complete all the missions in one town, there is no way to go back. This sort of defeats the purpose of a free-world game.
Con FPS sections are difficult to control
The first person shooter sections of the game can be a bit difficult as the player needs to remove their thumb from one of the touch screen movement sticks to shoot, making parts of movement impossible to control while shooting.
Con Can feel repetitive
Even though it is by design, having to repeat many of the same areas (despite being randomly generated) feels repetitive after a while, which can lead to boredom while playing. So it is up to the player how soon they will tire.
