A creative and fun fairy tale!
This is the first time i write a review for a game i haven't even finished yet, but this game deserves some attention here. I read a review on some site, that said it had a lot of halfbaked ideas, bad combat and runs poorly, and i don't agree with any of that. So far the game has a really interesting mainstory and fun sidequests. The mood is lighthearted with some very dark undertones - these start quite subtle though and im curious where it will end up. I loved all the characters i encountered until now. The voice acting is fantastic and the writing is generally clever and very funny. The combat ranges from simplistic but OK to very good depending on map area with a little lack of varity but relativly challenging optional Bossfights and doesn't feel cluncky at all. It isn't up to "Horizon Zero Dawn" standards but what is? Also there is a story mode option, but no other difficulty setting. The skills are useful and the morality system should offer at least 2 somewhat different playstyls (i only tried one so far). The Exploration is where the game really shines - it has a large open world, that doesnt feel empty like a lot of indie games and never gets grindy like a ubisoft game for example. The environment is good looking and very colorful with a lot of varity in mood and tone, and the savesystem keeps up the tension in the more dangerous areas where there are less savepoints around but isn't unfair or overly frustrating. In over 12 hours playtime i haven't encountered a single bug, and haven't even gotten stuck in the environment. It runs very smoothly on my system with a tiny amount of stutter after entering a new area that quickly goes away (there are no loadscreens), although i do have a good PC that i built myself. I haven't enjoyed an open world game this much in quite a while. If you think you might like this but are on the fence for some reason, i would very much recommend it, especially for this price which is a steal in my opinion.
Is this helpful to you?
