Visually an incredible game. Best warhammer representation to date. Gameplay is fun and challenging. The loading times take forever sometimes. And the new content is pushed out at a pretty slow rate. When you look at what modders have been able to do it really sheds light on just how much possibility Saber COULD do. It’s a great game but could be amazing. That’s why I gave 4 instead of 5 stars.

The open world is great. Beautiful and very immersive within the Harry Potter world. But combat mechanics might be the worst I’ve played in an open RPG. There’s no rythm. It’s so clunky. Targeting system is horrible. With combat being a core function of the game I’m afraid it’s only getting two stars. This is a game you put on easy and just play through for the story.

The exact same game as college 25. Just like Madden will be the same Madden as it’s always been. There’s no innovation. There’s no improvements. It’s exactly the same.

When I read the 5 and 4 star reviews I have to assume they’re bots. They all claim the “visuals are stunning”. The graphics and gameplay remind me of an Xbox one or PS4 game. When the gameplay actually works I think it’s fun. But the game is so incredibly buggy and glitchy. I’m honestly shocked the devs decided to put it out in this state. But that’s how the industry is now. Put out unfinished demo and just fix through patches later. Thank god it was on Xbox gamepass. I wouldn’t recommend to spend the $$ to buy this game to anyone. I’m hoping they eventually fix it because I would like to keep playing. But with the current state there’s no way with a clear conscious I can give it anything other than 1 star. I’ll come back and edit when that time comes

You have to go through a painstaking process of signing up and linking accounts. I miss when you could just play a game. Miserable experience I’ve already deleted the game.

The five star reviews are obviously bots. Don’t know if I’ve read a genuine 4 or 5 star review. That being said I also know the game is receiving negative feedback from real players. The main reason I’m giving this only 3 stars is due to the flying and spaceship travel. In order to takeoff or land on a planet it’s just a menu selection and then loading screen. The only time you’re ever in control of your ship is when you arrive or takeoff from a planet. And even then it doesn’t really give you a sense of exploring the universe. The planets stay in the same place no matter how far or fast you go. The only thing that gives you a sense of movement is when there are other ships or asteroids in the orbit. Also it’s absolutely tedious when exploring planets as you must travel on foot everywhere. Even if you could just get in your shop and fly around the planet it would be enough for me. The graphics and environment are visually stunning and have a very cinematic feel. The combat is enjoyable and love the looting aspect where you can basically take anything and either store it on your ship or take it to an owned home and decorate with it. Very satisfying. Haven’t gotten to outpost building yet this is just my 3rd day playing. I think the biggest issue with the game is how much it was hyped up from developers. Saying it was 25 years in the making. They marketed on the fact it was going to be a vast exploration game but that is very misleading given the spaceship functionality I described earlier. That being said it’s still a game I’m enjoying playing and truly feels “next gen”. But it was free on Xbox game pass. I can’t say I would spend $70 on it right away. I would say it’s a $30-$35 value. I would be more upset if I had spent $70 that’s for sure.

@NFL please for the love of god let another company get a license to make an NFL football game. Madden has been the same exact game for the past decade. 0 innovation. You would think after making the same exact game they would at least iron out all the bugs. What a let down. Every single time

The grappling/submission system is one of the most annoying features I’ve experienced in any sports game and is enough for me to recommend people: never spend your money on this game
