Storyline is engaging, but the dialogue is terribly written. I felt like there was a good balance between dialogue and game play in the first half of the game. But the second half felt almost entirely like dialogue. It's a decent game if you want something relaxing. Definitely NOT worth the $60 I spent. Knowing what I know now, I'd pay $15 max and happily play again. I'm so mad about what I paid vs what I got that i completely deleted the software from my switch. Zelda TOTK cost $60 and I had over 100 hrs of gameplay with lots of side quests and minimal dialogue. Don't waste your money on this.
