This game is phenomenal. I’ve played through the story three times and it still doesn’t get old. If you let it, the land of Oros is a truly immersive world. I find myself stressing over keeping the Wenja AI safe, and I don’t hesitate to slaughter Izila or Udam villagers. The combat is riveting. One would think that the limited variety of weapons would restrict combat, but on the contrary there is so much room for creativity, and you feel like an absolute badass. The open world is alive and dynamic, you’ll never wander for less than a minute without confronting threats or discovering a new location. There is no shortage of places to explore and things to see. The crafting, beast, food and skills system adds so much depth to the game, atop the wonderful village building system that makes it feel like your progress extends beyond the individual to a collective. My only complaint is that there is not enough content! While I’ve never completed the game to 100% (completed all collectables and quests), I of course would love a longer story or more fleshed out village/player profession system. Much love and respect for the devs behind this title, you guys did a wonderful job.
