I borrowed it off a mate to play during downtime on my vacation. I'm about 7 hours in, just finished chapter 2, and I think I'm gonna drop it soon.
Pretty surprised how well it reviewed considering how low-effort and soulless so much of it feels to me.
I'm on mobile so I'll just list the issues.
- The appalling V.A. Everything sounds like it was the first take they recorded.
- Overly expository writing and wonky dialogue.
- Characters are annoying af, especially the giant hamster who screeches meeehhh.
- Repetitive sound effects. Especially in battle. Jesus Christ.
- Inability to skip dialogue once you've read it during cutscenes.
- Overlong combat and general feeling of busy work.
- So. Many. Systems. It feels like every 10 mins I'm introduced to a new mechanic and I just feel kinda exhausted by it.
- Visuals are pretty meh in handheld mode.
I do like some of the time saving elements - fast travel and not losing progress when you die, but so much of the core game feels insanely bloated so far.
Apparently this game is 50ish hours long on the lower end? I can't. I just can't.
