I am about 15-20 hours in, so I have not completed the game but I have played a good amount. I really want to give this game 5 stars, and there is only one reason I couldn’t. First, the good: This world build is spectacular. I loved everything about wondering around pandora, gathering, crafting, doing side missions. The world they built was stunning and I often found myself in awe while wondering around. The main story isn’t incredible, but it’s still enjoyable and I am having fun with it. I do feel connected to some of the main characters they put more time into developing. The bad: Combat doesn’t feel 100% right. It’s fine, I just wish there were better stealth options. It’s nearly impossible to infiltrate a base without everyone becoming aware of your presence and just all out attacking you. So you just kind of run around avoiding bullets and try to pick people off. I think it could have been cleaner, and if they mastered it, this would have been absolutely deserving of 5 stars. Also. There were some actual sad deaths, only because they were characters I did side quests for. But when the died it was just slightly mentioned? Even the “lover” of one didn’t seem to give a sh** after. Which was weird. I wanted to feel sad so I wish they just gave me more to make it impactful!

Okay, I have to say I love this game so much. However, I have never played a game with so many bugs. At least from my experience. I lost out on side quests because characters were frozen in place. The game randomly shut off on my unlike anything that I have ever experienced. Objects were suspended in the air throughout the game and made the game lose its realism. Weird frozen camera angles happened during battle. It randomly became hard to talk to people I was supposed to talk to for a quest and I’d have to reboot the game. I lost the ability to fight in the middle of a raid. The buttons literally stopped working until I rebooted. Without the bugs however, I would have given the game a five. I had a lot of fun playing it and recommend getting it. Just frustrating bugs my god.
