Open-world action-adventure game
When it comes to action-based open-world sandbox games, Grand Theft Auto is one of the greatest. If you’re looking for a game that can give it a run for its money, then Gangstar New Orleans OpenWorld, developed by Gameloft, is the game for you. You’ll play as a criminal whose goal is to lead the organized crime world in the Southern city. You’ll need to travel various locations and shoot your way to become a criminal legend.
A world bustling with crime
The Gangstar series is perhaps one of the gold standards for open-world action games. To date, it has nine titles to its name, with Gangstar New Orleans OpenWorld as the latest. Its gameplay focuses on allowing the player to choose missions at their leisure. It comes with various engaging activities, including driving, shooting, stealth, racing, and even occasional role-playing. Each game also stars a criminal who aims to rise through the ranks of the criminal underworld.
Gangstar New Orleans OpenWorld has the same gameplay as its predecessors. This time, it will take you to the city of New Orleans, where you can explore the French quarters, the outskirts, and even the marshy areas. Like the first eight titles, there is a story campaign that tasks you with various missions. However, as a bonus, the game introduces Turf Wars, a gangster vs. gangster, where you claim a turf to defend it from other gangs.
Gangstar New Orleans OpenWorld boasts hundreds of vehicles and a large arsenal at your disposal. With this, you can equip yourself with all sorts of weapons and make them evolve. More, it lets you customize your character and give it a personal touch. The game features high-quality graphics and a great soundtrack. However, you’ll find that some missions are short, even repetitive and boring at times. What’s worse, the game plays ads every time you log in.
The best gangster
Gangstar New Orleans OpenWorld is an improved version of the previous Gangstar titles. While it comes with almost the same gameplay and story, the experience is different. There is plenty of depth here for hardcore players and long hours of gameplay for casual players. Some of the missions may be subpar, but all in all, this game lived up to the fans’ expectations and the series’ reputation as a whole.
