apparently, they kept the story hidden pre launch because there’s no story to show. pros: - world is genuinely beautiful. - soundtrack is strong. - combat can be fun, especially boss fights. - a handful of side quest chains (mainly greymane stuff) actually have substance. - if you want a 80–100 hour “turn your brain off” game, it delivers. cons: - main story is disconnected filler stitched together. - you can play 40+ hours and nothing meaningful happens narratively. - NPCs are basically props. - quests are drip fed through menus instead of discovered organically. - heavy MMO DNA. fetch quests, bounties, repetition everywhere. - forced grinding via stat checks (boss fights). the game straight up stops you until you farm upgrades. - early game is extremely restricted despite the “freedom” marketing. - enemy variety is awful early on (you’re fighting the same bandits for tens of hours). - batshit padding (178 kill bandit camps, repeated objectives, respawns). - inventory system is almost broken level bad (can’t place items in storage, only remove, constant micromanagement). - side quests often aren’t even voiced properly. - many systems exist just to exist with no depth. - bosses are inconsistent. some great, some literal floating clouds. - pacing is terrible. the game hoards the good content and buries it under hours of filler. youtu.be/czQEIY1xpH4?si=m3KX…
