I completely love that the game kind of forces/pushes you into different aspects of being a wizard. Whether that is making potions, learning new spells, combat, growing your own plants, taming your own beast, etc. I also love despite the fact that the forbidden forest it’s supposed to be off-limits, the game allows you to explore that area. Also, time being basically nonexistent allows you to properly explore this open world without feeling like you have to rush the main story along.
