Is it still worth playing?

You play one of three mercenaries who complete contracts in a war torn North Korea for profit and to prevent a nuclear war, in this open world action adventure from Pandemic Studios. You can level any of the buildings in the game world, including faction headquarters, and buildings are usually restored after a while away. Wanton destruction has a cost: attacking a faction lowers its disposition toward you, and killing civilians and Allied Nations personnel brings cash fines. There are five warring factions: the Allied Nations, the South Korean Union, the Russian mafia, the Chinese People's Liberation Army and the Korean People's Army. Having a sandbox to flatten still gives you creative choice in how you approach missions.
