This game was breathtaking.
I was really surprised to see so many mixed critic reviews, since the core gameplay; fighting and exploration are the best you can get for this generation of games.
The story, the characters and their relationships were a real strong point, they each challenged eachother and felt real and had depth.
They got it roght with this one, there's a lot to explore but its not a collect-a-thon, almost all exploration and collection objectives are rewarded, progression and skills are all useful and make a meaningful difference.
I think I put about 70 hours into this game, I found it more engaging on higher difficulty levels since I am used to souls-like games.
This is a must play game
