50 plus hours and this game is a masterpiece. Many have yet to see this for good reason.
Negative reviews have been made based off beta or early access. But what most people do not know is as you level up the game changes dramatically. What you used to grind for you no longer grind for. Your missions your goals your ship your loadout, it all changes later.
It's not repetitive like most games. It's not like black, naval action or sea of thieves for a reason. It's better. Pvp is fair and you can choose not to do it. You can also choose not to fast travel.

10 years in the making and you cannot see it until you've spent 20 to 30 hours and you just sit back and say wow. This is great.
I've dropped all my games for this and you won't regret it.
It's not for everyone but if you give it a shot I'm telling it's worth more than what I paid for it.
