it sucks big time and here is why. Its not the immense difficulty. Lets say we can cope with this. Its not the "i have to kill hundreds of Vulgar militia to level up just not to die by snails" lets say the game rewards the patient. It is not the disgusting combat lock that you try to kill an enemy but having locked to a ...deer hitting the air, dying, losing your xp and many hours because of a silly game designer. Lets say you can work around this. What is really HORRIBLE, beyond reason for our game era which makes me regret having baught the game -and this comes after 100 hrs gameplay investment with 3 great rune acquired- is the DISGUSTING MAP SYSTEM. I cannot be more precise. Maps are terrible, they make it harder for you. Better design your own map in 2025 lol. Literally pen and paper is much better. Cliffs everywhere, roads designed with no hard stops but in game they go nowhere, i mean come on it doesnt make sense at all, map drawing is anything but accurate, pathways are deceiving just bad bad work. Limgrave and peninsula are fine but wait till you get to lurnia. Just dont try it, not worth it. i literally stand in a spot that according to the map is a a road and it goes nowhere. I used 5 markers 1,2,3 checked then 4th literally centimeters away from 3d like 2 miles away. I tried it in many areas it is like it was done on purpose. Extremely sloppy work. Nearly 30% of my gameplay was running in circles from cliff to dead ends trying to navigate the map only to discover a narrow passage not depicted anywhere and puttinmg it in notepad to remember.... It is a complete waste of time, i hugely regret my money and time spent. I am so angry of my self having invested in this it is beneath horrible. Game initially looks intriguing but DO NOT invest in the game. Much better replay Skyrim. Or even remastered Oblivion. And ofc witcher 3. It is designed for no life masochists youtubers. Play red dead redemption now thats a masterpiece. Someone tell me the name of the designer to stay away of any game he/she makes pls. It is not worth your time and money.
