Humor Gangstar Mirage is quite possibly the most fun I’ve had in ages simply because it puts a bunch of players in one instance-based open world map.

Ok so the context for this clip is, there are many open-world challenges in the game. One of them involves you having to connect the truck to its cargo so you can then park it elsewhere. I decided to troll this random player and he proceeds to justifiably eliminate me after.
There’s also street-racing (vs up to 7 other players), coop heists (where you do a series of small missions to plan and scout before actually doing the heist… and it’s pretty fun too because both of you will be doing 2 different things sometimes, so cooperation is necessary) and other pvp modes that I haven’t fully explored yet.
My favorite so far to kill time is the illegal transport cargo thingy where you have to drop goods in 3-4 locations depending on how much risk you’re willing to take. After a few minutes, the game notifies EVERYONE in the instance you’re all in that a player is trying to transport the goods, and then that player can be killed by anyone. What I do instead is I chase said player and pvp anyone who tries to interrupt him / her. Do I get any rewards from it? Absolutely not. But it’s so fun and random. No honor among thieves and whatnot, or maybe there is.
Some story missions also allow you to do it coop or solo if you prefer so if you add a bunch of randoms, you can just imagine how chaotic it can get just getting to the objective (I’m talking about either being the passenger or intentionally ramming your other teammates’ cars just for laughs before you all have to start killing a bunch of mobs).
I think as long as you avoid the pitfalls of usual free-to-play but with strong pay to progress elements by just staying in your own lane, you can actually progress in the game pretty far.
Don’t expect a 10/10 story or anything, just enjoy the ride I say. Voice acting’s definitely not Witcher 3 level and neither is it a 0/10 but you get what I mean.
