I WANT to like this game. I do. It has great exploration and open world aspects. I saw that they really push the exploration, so my family and I decided to buy it. Little did we know, that even though they say it's not centered around combat, that the combat itself is actually very difficult. At almost every turn there's an enemy, and all of them can kill you if you're not great at figuring out a good strategy. So, I do NOT recommend buying this game if you're not good at fighting, like myself. I'm used to playing games that actually allow you to tank your enemies and not die every time. I find the combat just a bit too ridiculously hard. I WISH it was more focused around the story and the open worldness, like they actually said. Upset to have found out it's not AFTER we purchased the game.
I feel the only way I'll ever like this game is if they add a difficulty option. It's my kind of game, and I want to enjoy it, but I can't if I die at every little thing. Maybe this is just meant for that small audience of gamers that can be very quick on their toes, because nowadays there's little combat strategy in most games released. I hope you expand your horizon and make an option for an easier mode so we all can enjoy the game.
