It seems like a game that has quite a lot going for it, the gameplay looks pretty cool, I like the art direction, and performance and visuals actually seem to be quite polished at launch. However, I just know I’ll get tired of it, as it is another game that prioritizes being big, with tons of repetitive content, too big of a world, and somehow too many protagonists, which seemingly brings down both the overall gameplay and story.
It’s fine that there are games like this that cater to people who want large, expansive worlds to immerse themselves in, but I do get a bit disappointed that “every” single player AAA game is like this. There are many other games for me to play, so it is not like I’m starving for games, but it feels like I miss out on a ton of games I could potentially have liked if the direction was slightly different
