I’ve put a lot of hours into this game and yes it still does have a compelling story, amazing graphics, the one thing that is just down right bad is the combat. While on one hand it can be fun using the spear and bow, the fact that you can’t block/parry/lock on to enemies at all is just mind boggling. Most of the machines are also extremely annoying to fight as they all basically lunge at you from ridiculously long distances to most of the time land a hit on you. I mean imagine playing god of war, ff7 remake, elden ring, ghost of t. Or countless other action/rpg/adventure games and only being able to roll out of the way from enemies or run away lol.
