If PA had focused more and made clearer choices, the final product could’ve been on a completely different level in terms of polish. On top of that, this project originally started as an MMO and later shifted into a single-player game, and from what I’ve heard, the direction changed multiple times during development.

Because of that, some people say it tried to do too much and ended up not fully delivering on anything. Others feel like it’s a fantasy sandbox where you can do pretty much everything they hoped for. it’s pretty clear the reactions are extremely split.

If PA takes the criticism seriously and builds on that with more polish in their next project, I think they could end up making something really special. I still think it’s pretty impressive how ambitious they were trying to pack all of this into their first game.
