Having tested this game across PC, PS5, and mobile, I can confidently say it’s a failure on every front—but the mobile version is comfortably the worst of the three. The graphics are a massive downgrade; the character models look appalling compared to the already mediocre PC/PS5 versions, losing all detail and texture. Despite the visual sacrifice, the optimization remains atrocious, plagued by constant crashes and thermal throttling. You’re still stuck with the same cliché combat, soulless 'Japanese-lite' empty city, and garbage driving mechanics, only now they’re even harder to control with terrible touch inputs. It is an unplayable, unoptimized mess that insults the players on every platform it touches.

The PS5 port of this game is a technical embarrassment that fails on every level. Despite the hardware’s power, the performance optimization is abysmal, riddled with frame drops and game-breaking bugs that ruin any sense of immersion. The character models are eyesores, the combat is a generic, outdated chore, and the driving physics are laughably bad. What’s most disappointing is the hollow, lifeless city; instead of showcasing a vibrant, authentic Chinese urban landscape, it settles for a cliché, derivative imitation of a Japanese city that feels utterly soul-less. It’s a broken, uninspired mess that has no business being on a next-gen console.

This game is an absolute disaster that feels more like an unfinished tech demo than a finished product. Between the constant bugs and appalling performance optimization that turns my PC into a space heater, it’s borderline unplayable. The character models are surprisingly ugly and dated, the combat is a cliché-ridden slog with zero innovation, and the 'open world' city is a hollow shell with nothing to do. To top it off, the driving mechanics are atrocious, feeling less like a car and more like a shopping cart on ice. Save your time and storage space—this is a hollow, broken mess.
